Hi Hamza,

 

So sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing with InDesign. There are multiple factors both internal and external to InDesign application that can lead to document corruption, however, we can take a look and see if the file can be repaired. Please email your InDesign file to corrupt_indesign_docs@adobe.com and we will take a look at the document. 
If the file is larger than 10 Mb, you can upload to Creative Cloud account and send us the document link.

 

I must also inform that file recovery can't be guaranteed with a 100% success. We'll surely try our best.

 

Regards,

Srishti

Sounds like the file is corrupt. I hope you have a back up.
