Corrupt InDesign, or bad InDesign documents that crashed, are unfortunately a reality. Hopefully, this will not be something you experience, but if you do, here is a great potential work-around to fix InDesign files with Markzware File Recovery Service or Adobe plug-ins by Markzware, like ID2Q and Q2ID. Here is a listing of typical InDesign error messages:
The application InDesign has unexpectedly quit. A crash report has been generated. To provide us with the best chance of fixing this problem, please select Continue to add a detailed description that includes the steps required to reproduce the crash.
These are the instructions and the inventory list of software (XTensions and Adobe plug-ins) needed. It is a work-around; however, one which generally works quite well: Markzware develops Adobe plug ins and more products that can help solve these InDesign error issues. See below for Markzware File Recovery Service to FIX INDESIGN FILES.
What to do:
- Ensure that QuarkXPress 8 or 9 is installed.
- Ensure that Markzware’s ID2Q is installed.
- Open InDesign file in QuarkXPress via ID2Q (Under “Utilities).
- Save the (hopefully) converted corrupt InDesign file as a QuarkXPress file to your desktop with a QXP extension.
- Ensure that InDesign CS4 or CS5 is installed.
- Ensure that Markzware’s Q2ID plugin is installed.
- In InDesign (after Q2ID is loaded), simply go to “File->Open.”
- Select the salvaged file now in a QuarkXPress QXP form.
*** If you can open the InDesign file at this point, it is generally RECOVERED!***
TIP: After you fix corrupt InDesign files with the Markzware Adobe plug-ins, it is best to then export them as an Adobe Interchange INX format. This should zap any corruption that may be lingering in most cases… then, you can work on!
