Hi there,

 

Sorry for the trouble opening the InDesign file. Would you mind trying to uninstall InDesign and reinstall it from the Creative Cloud Desktop? Let us know if that works. Most of the uninstalling and reinstalling fixes this type of issue.

 

Please feel free to update the discussion if the above step doesn't work.

 

We will be happy to assist you further.

 

Thanks,

Harshika
