Hi,

I exported pdf file from indesign and same pdf file i am uploading to the wordpress based website.

The file opens up with pdf with no issues but it shows ".indd" file as extension instead of ".pdf" extension.

Please help to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Jyoti Raj

What is your OS, and what application are you using to view the PDF? Perhaps the problem lies inthe opening app reading the creator metadata instead of the filename.

It sounds as if you clicked an existing file name when you exported it — "My File for Wordpress.indd" — and InDesign obediently used that, plus a .pdf extension that might be hidden, as the file name.

Simply rename it [FILENAME].pdf.

If this happens again, look closely at your workflow (especially in how you are naming files), and report back with more details.

I even copied the same pdf file and renamed to a different file name but I when I upload it to the wordpress media file, somehow ".indd" extension shows up. Not able to understand where did extension coming from?

Click on "Download PDF version", it downloads as pdf version but the thumbnail shows ".indd" file.
