It looks as if the font has been outlined – where did you get the document from?

[Veera92]

I got this from a creative agency. Few edits to be done.

I can able to edit in IDML file format but I am unable to edit in IDNN file format.

Will it possible to edit text outline ?

No, you cannot edit outlined text. Go back to the sender and tell them to send you file with live type.

I created or entered the text myself, I have dozens of similar files that have remained editable

Do you have any idea how the text got converted to outlines? The screen shot you gave us has anchor points on the text objects, so it is no longer live text and is no longer editable.

If you have an earlier copy from your backups with editable text, you can use that.
