My coworkers can't open a indesign dokument/idml because of a missing plugin

How do i fix it?

    Correct answer Bill Silbert

    You will have to either identify the plug-in and find out if it is available and install it on the coworkers' machine(s) or have the person who created the original file resave the document with that plug-in disabled (depending on the plug-in this may alter part of the document). An IDML of a document that requires a certain plug-in will not usually do away with that document's need for the plug-in.

      I'm not sure I understand why you would use a plug-in that you only had a thirty day license for to create that many documents or how you could create that many files in just thirty days. But the answer I gave over a year ago is still the best advice. Find an updated version of the plug-in and buy it legitimately.

      Try to do idml again.

      Or ask here (download to some dropbox/yadisk and give it the link). 

      Or here - https://forum.rudtp.ru/threads/zaprosy-na-ponizhenie-versii-indesign-indd-to-idml-indd-to-inx.44870/

       

      In most cases idml helps! Instead CS3 and below - needs to do .inx

        Give it the file here throughout some dropbox/yadisk. May be some forum-men help you to convert.
