InBooklet Woes -- Help

[travisbrown]

I had to sub out a layout job recently. The designer provided a CS2 preflight package back, but I can't open the indd file. Missing font or plug in message pops up. I believe this is because of the InBooklet plugin.

What's the way around this? Is there no way to use this file now? Of course Quark discontinued all InDesign plugs when they took over ALAP. I can't find a legitimate or illegitimate copy anywhere.

In the PF Instructions:

External Plug-ins 1
InBooklet SE.4x.pln.framework

Not sure if that's the problem. When you save an ID doc using the inbooklet plugin, it gives you a new ID doc except with the pages reordered. to check this, I removed the inbooklet plugin from the ID plugins folder, restarted ID, opened an inbooklet INDD and it opened fine, so that might not be the problem.

If you're using a copy of ID that's older than CS2, you won't be able to open a CS2 doc. If that's the case, you can ask the other guy to export to Interchange format and resend. See if that works.

We are both using CS2, and tried saving in legacy formats as well, so I'm sure that's not the issue.

If you have CS2, don't you have the inbooklet plugin? I thought it was included in 2 but not 3 (1 had it in the PM plugin pack which was optional unless you bought the whole creative suite where it was included on a separate disk).

Take a look at the install disk and see if there's an extras folder.

Doesn't appear so. There's a "Goodies" folder on disc 6, but it's not in there. On the disc with ID setup there's a plugin folder, but only an InCopy Workflow plug.

Error message (on all the computers in the office here, Mcc and PC - CS1 and CS2):

Cannot open the file "myfile.indd". Adobe Indesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.

Have you checked the Adobe website Knowledge Base? they have a lot of very helpful stuff including an exact explaination of the error message, if you supply the codes, and possible work a rounds.
