Hello,
I work on files that another person has access to. The file was created on their computer with adobe font Poppins. But when i open the file, it converts all the poppins fonts to otf and if i change them to the adobe version, when they open it it does the same thing to them. Have uninstalled and reinstalled indesign, have tried older versions. I am at my wits end as to why this is happening.

I'm not clear on what's going on here. You should both have the same font installed on your computers and use only that. To make it easy, either use a font from Adobe Fonts or copy the font to a Document fonts folder.

Both computers have the same version of Indesign and both have the Poppins font active through adobe fonts. But when i open any files my co worker works on, it tells me i am missing poppins otf. If i change it to the adobe version it will tell her the same thing.

I will communicate this with my co worker. We work on mainly menus for many hospitals, so templates are created and copied then edited with what each cutomer needs. Since my co worker is the one that set up the templates, is it posiible something is corrupt on her end? I never really worked with the IDML files

The number one reason for IDML is to save a file compatible with earlier versions, but it was discovered long ago that doing so also had the benefit of stripping out minor corruption. Once you open and save the file, it becomes a standard INDD file.
