Why do I get SharedContent plugin error?

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.

Steve left out the part where that export must be done from CS5.5.

Is there another way around this? CS5.5 is on a Mac that I do not currently have access to.

Post the file in a dropbox folder and give us a link. Someone will do it for you.

Got it. Put the IDML file in the same folder.

You should be good to go.

Bob

Thanks so much. That was very kind of you!

Hi Bob,

I have the exact same problem. Would you be able to help me?

I have uploaded the file to this link. http://cl.ly/0Y0M223u1q3U303w1y1z

I think I saved it in CS5.5 and now I'm trying to open it in CS5.

Thanks a million,

Rory

Sorry, still without power since Irene ripped through here due to the utter incompetence of JCP&L. Very limited internet.

If I get to Dunkin Donuts later I'll look at it. In the mean time perhaps someone else will come along and help you out.

Bob

Thanks for the help anyway Bob. Hope you get everything sorted.

Got it. I'll be uploading a link to the OP via PM momentarily.

Thats incredibly nice of you.

Thanks very much

Bob,

I am wondering if you can help me convert as well?

I have 5 at work and downloaded 5.5 at home last night not thinking anything about it.

Thank you very much!

Kara

I didn't bring my laptop from home to work. So I don't have access to 5.5...

Didn't think ahead I guess.

But thank you for the heads-up!

...Sorry I didn't respond to the correct user previously.

My dropbox link is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41055924/Hayes%2BWedding%2BProgram%2BSmall.indd

I converted it but have no way of returning it to you.

Please visit my website, www.theindesignguy.com and go to the contact page there. Send me a message with your email address and I'll email it to you.

And for the lurkers out there...Unless you're willing to visit this page first: www.theindesignguy.com/donate.shtml, please stick to messages here in the forum. I'm getting way too many emails asking for help. I'll get to the ones here when I have time or perhaps someone else will be able to assist.

Bob

This is ridiculous.

What's ridiculous? Do you need some help?

You registered for that?

What are you talking about?

Hi Bob,

I am experiencing this problem as well. The file at issue is quite large - my portfolio - which I modified at school, then brought home only to find that I could no longer open it. Could you help me out with this as well?

Thanks,

Ben

You can send me the file. I'll put an upload link in a Private message for you.

I already got it.

Bob

So Ben tells me. Thanks.

I wish i didn't have to ask, but please check your PM. Why doesn't Adobe make the newer versions backwards compatible?

Been discussed to death.

Check your email.

Bob

Thanks Bob.

Hi Bob and Everyone Else,

I saw your really helpful post on the Adobe Forum about an InDesign file that won't open in CS5 due to missing plug ins, or maybe the original was created in InDesign CS5.5, we don't know.

I am trying to help a journalism student with his project (exam is Monday) and when I try to open his InDesign file I get the following messages:

This document users one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system: SharedContent.InDesignPlugin

and when I continue, a second alert lists the following missing plug-ins:

FormField.InDesignPlugin

XML.InDesignPlugin

Generic Page Item.InDesignPlugin

Text.InDesignPlugin

Dynamic Documents.InDesignPlugin

Hyperlinks.InDesignPlugin

Document Framework.InDesignPlugin

Graphics.InDesignPlugin

and it says: Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign.

I cannot see anywhere to upgrade my plug-ins, and cannot afford to upgrade from CS5.

So does this mean the original document was created in INDD CS5.5?

Or can I download the relevant plug-ins from somewhere?

Or can you someone very kindly convert it to CS5 for me please? I do have a dropbox.

Many thanks

Sarah

It's CS5.5.

You can dowmload the trial if you like, or send me a Private Message (clcik my name to go to my profile) withthe link and I'll convert it for you.

Thank you so much Peter, but Bob has very kindly helped us already. What a brilliant guy!

I would have removed my post, but I cannot see how to do that here.

Best wishes, and thanks again. Lovely people.

Thanks!

I also have an InDesign CS5.5 file that I need to be able to open in CS4. I was working at home one day without my laptop from work and downloaded the trial version of CS5.5, and now I can not open the file that I created. The file is located in my dropbox at the following link:
