The document created in Indesign 2019 does not open in InDesign 2020

I have created a file via InDesign 2019 with my plugin's persistent objects. This file can't open via InDesign 2020.

Error message: Cannot open "filename.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.

You need to ignore persistent interfaces and classes that your plugin adds to the document so that it opens up on the installation that does not have your plugins installed. Having said that, even if the document has missing plugins we just get a dialog notifying about missing plugins but this does not prevent you from opening the file. Something more is going on here i suppose. What happens if you open the document on CC2019 with these two plugins not loaded?

Thank you Manan and Srishti.

I fixed the issue via adding conversions.

    Hi Narada,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. It might be possible that the plugins you used in version 2019 are not compatible with InDesign 2020. In addition to the suggestions shared by Manan, I would suggest if you can check with Typefi and confirm if they have a version compatible with InDesign 2020.

     

    Regards,

    Srishti
