how to open old indesign files in its higher version
mahesh (16 points) | Fri, 2007-07-27 10:56hi all,
i recently upgraded to a higher version of indesign, now the problem is im not able to open the old files in new version.
somebody pls help !!!!!!!!
Most all applications, including Adobe's, open documents in the latest version on your computer. So if you have a CS2 file on your computer, it should open CS3 when you double click it. Now it's possible that the prebindings weren't updated when you installed CS3, so you need to do a "Get Info" (Command + i) on an InDesign file, then in the "Open With" section of the Info box, select InDesign CS3 from the drop down menu and hit "Apply All."
Do you have CS2 and CS3 installed?

tell me how to do in pc
Right click and open with.
The article talks more about resetting the pc so it looks for CS3 instead of CS2:
"On Windows XP After installation, navigate to the Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Shell folder and double click the Register64BitIcons.bat file to update the document icons.
Windows Vista
Open a command shell with Administrator Privileges by right clicking the cmd.exe application and choosing to Run As Administrator. Navigate to the Program Files (x86)\Common\Adobe\Shell folder. Type the name of the .bat file, " Register64BitIcons.bat" (without quotations) and press Enter."

i need to open indesign 2 in cs3
Follow the instructions I posted, or create an indesign exchange file (INX format) and open it that way.

don't double click on the document just open ID-CS3 in you comp and select the files and open...
or just give the extension i.e. .eps here press give .INDD

Hello,
I have the same problem, I'm unable to open InDesign CS2 files with InDesgin CS3. While loading the file, the application closes unexpectedly, without showing any warning or error. It just disappears.
I never had the CS2 version installed on this computer (I formatted before installing CS3), so no garbage can have been left from a previous install. I tried installing and uninstalling CS3, remove it's preferences folders... but still the same problem. I also saved the InDesign's CS2 files in inx format, but no change. My OS is Windows XP.
Any idea how to solve it? Because I don't know what to do anymore :( .
Thanks!

But my problem is that I want to open CS2 documents in InDesign CS3, not CS3 in CS2.
If you have a font manager, turn it off. There's a possibility that a corrupt font is causing the problem.

The problem doesn't seem to be due to corrupt fonts. But thank you for helping.
Taking a look at Windows' log, I can see that \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\AGM.dll makes an access infraction (c0000005). I also found out that if I save the file in inx format, open it as XML in the notepad and delete "crec" XML elements (< crec ... > < / crec >) I am able to open the file. It's a jerry-ringed solution (I introduced some corruption in the inx file), but at least now I can open the file :p .
I told you to do the INX format before! Ha ha. :)

But saving just as inx didn't work as well, InDesign CS3 crashed too. I had to delete code from inside the file, which means that now the structure of the inx isn't correct :( . If someone who has the same problem finds a better solution, please please post it. Thank you!
