Question

plug-ins - "Cannot open File"

I  have received a file from overseas which looks like the CS5 indesign icon, but which I cannot open through my CS5 indesign software. The message SHAREDCONTENT.RPLN first appears and then after clicking OK to open anyway, Cannot Open File appears with a list of missing plug-ins. The message reads: Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Indesign. I have not been able to find these plug-ins online and I'm not financially able to upgrade just yet! Any ideas anyone?

Another alternative that you can use, is ask for the IDML version of the document along with the assets like images and fonts used in the original document. You can open IDML version of the document in CS4, CS5, CS5.5 AND CS6 versions of InDesign.

Once open just relink the images sent as assets to you and place the fonts in the required folder and you are all set to use your doucment, save the document in the INDD format and you have your InDesign file. This will be an easy way for you as it will save you installation time for ID CS5.5 and also allow you to not upgrade and buy a license for it if you don't require it.

Thanks,

It sounds like you are trying to open an IDCS5.5 file using IDCS5, that's impossible.

The upgrade means to upgrade the InDesign from CS5 to CS5.5, it cannot be done by software updating. You have to download the CS5.5 installer (it should be CS6 now) and install it.

Hope it helps.
