What does this mean? "This document cannot be packaged due to missing plug-ins. Please install or activate these plug-ins: AdMan_Plugin.InDesignPlugin"?
I have searched the Adobe site and the forum and can find no reference to an AdMan plug-in.
I really need to package my file.
Thanks

It is certainly a third-party plugin. Export your InDesign file to idml and open the idml file, then save this file, it should be OK after.

Try exporting your file as IDML and then opening from that file. This process will often strip out links to missing plugsins, so that you will be able to package your file successfully.

Based on a quick search, I found reference to AdMan as a Plugin for exporting to Wordpress. Does this sound familiar to you? Or is this a file that has come from someone else? In any case, this particular PlugIn was discontinued in 2018, so there's no new (or old) version for you in case it was something you had used, so if you have a lot of old files, this will come up again!
Regardless, if the Export to .IDML approach doesn't work for you, someone has created a plugin in which can strip the missing plugin hooks. I have no experience with it so can't vouch for its efficacy, but you can take a look here for info:

The plugin developer would be me, the trial version runs for 7 days. Details are mentioned in the readme of the Github repo

Let me get this straight. You developed a plug-in for some sort of exporting to WordPress and got it included in the CC software package. But after 7 days, the "trial" version—which most people will never have reason to use—expires and you must purchase or be unable to package an InDesign file? But no worries, because you can sell us another plug-in that will remove the useless AdMan plug in.
Maybe I am missing something, but this might be seen as a genius level scam on the order of ransomware. Please correct me or tell me how to eliminate your plug-in without paying for it.

This was answered above, but the fact that there's a missing plugin will launch and alert but it shouldn't keep you from packaging the document.

I would humbly advice you to apply thought before you say something on a public forum and accuse someone of something. And to top that off don't speak on a subject that you have no understanding whatsoever, this expose your foolishness out to people. Now that I have replied to your accusations, I will now try to explain what my plugin does and how the 7 day trial would be beneficial to even someone inconsiderate like your highness.
P.S.:- Lastly I don't know how you earn your bread but I work hard and create softwares which I aspire to sell. I don't scam people but try to help them out as much as I can while earning what I deserve and that my friend is not a crime or scam in any part of the world.
