Hi team, I’m currently facing a problem. This is the second time my InDesign file has encountered Error Code 6 and become damaged. I’m unable to open the file. I urgently need this file at the moment, so I would really appreciate your help in fixing it. Thank you.

What are your InDesign and operating system versions? Does it happen with the same file or different ones? Can you recover an earlier file version from backup?

Yes, I have already tried all the suggestions provided by Adobe, but unfortunately none of them worked. I have also sent an email and requested assistance to help repair the file.
