Why do I get SharedContent plugin error?

Engaged ,
Jun 13, 2011 Jun 13, 2011

My indd document was created in iD CS5.5. On opening in iD CS5, there is a popup which says that SharedContent plugin was used in the creation of the file. The popup then provides the option to proceed anyway. Will I be safe doing that, or is there a workflow for installing the plugin in CS5?

You cannot open an InDesign CS5.5 file directly in InDesign CS5. You need to choose File > Export > IDML and open the IDML file in InDesign CS4 or CS5.

I have thfile, but you haven't said what version you are going to use to open the conversion, so I don't know how far back to go...

I don't want to take advantage, but I have a project due at the end of class and I've done the same thing - worked on it at home in CS5.5. Our school computers run CS5. Would I be able to get your email so I can share it in dropbox?

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi all.  I'm so sorry to ask this, but I'm having a similar situation.  I have a document created on CS5.5 that I desperately need to open up on another computer, and don't have access to the original document.  Could someone please help me?

I'm sending you a link, but I'm confused by your comment that you don't have access to the original document. If you don't have the document, how can we convert it?  Perhaps you meant you don't have access to CS5.5.

Peter (or anybody else who can help), I was trying to find an online solution for this common problem with CS5.5 in to CS 5.0 but I couldn't find any. I only got update for my home computer but cannot get update for CS5.5 in my work (long story). Could you please be so kind and turn it into IDML file?

If you could email it to me: [removed by moderator]

Hello,

I have a similar problem : I need to update several indd files made by my graphic designer (but I don't know which version he uses) and I can't open them with my CS4 version, because the Shared content" plugin is missing, as well as many others.

Let me know how I can send you these files (I don't want to put them in a Public folder) so that you could convert them, as I see you accept to do it for emergencies like mine.

Thank you so much...

Camille

See http://forums.adobe.com/message/4071273 -- it helps if you can say what version they were saved in.

Everyone in this thread has an emergency.

As with the rest of these posts, I'm in a bind of sorts and it's a good weekend to have one too. I'm running CS4, version 6.0.6 and recieved a file from my graphic designer {not sure what she's running, but it's newer than mine] and I recieved the Shared Content Plug-In absent message. Wondering if you or anyone else would be willing to lend a hand to backsave for me and I'll shower you with good karma.

I have DropBox ready to roll ...

Cheers

Hello Pickory,

Would you (or anyone else) by any chance want some more karma? I need two CS5.5 files converted to being compatible with my CS4. I also have everything ready in dropbox.

I'd be SUPER grateful!

Arigato~
