Hello, I have a problem with the last project in ID. The file does not open after trying to export and the message appears: The command could not be completed, a database error occurred. The file is corrupted. Error code: 6. Version 20. I uninstalled everything, reinstalled, reset the settings. I made a blind change to IDML, but every time I get a message about a database error.

Does your backup copy open and operate correctly?

[Marek_glider]

Yes it does. I have file from 2 weeks ago and works fine. Only the todays one doesnt work.

what's your operating system version?

also, try to open your IDML in InDesign 2024 and export from there - will it work? (as far as I understand, you can export IDML just not exporting to PDF?)

unfortunately I am not able to open the file when I try to open the latest version a message appears and so on every attempt to run it. I also tried a script to convert the file to idml but the error is the same connection to the database

If you can't open your file - the only solution would be a paid service - you can Google them.

Looks like you'll have to re-create last two weeks...

It's a bit too late for this file, but you should start doing backup copies every day you work on your file.

I only have the indd file, I don't have anything else.
