1. Re: Cannot open .idml file from CC in CS6 InDesign. HELP.
BobLevine Feb 24, 2014 8:43 AM (in response to tategraphics)That is indicative of an INDD file that someone simply changed the file extension of.

2. Re: Cannot open .idml file from CC in CS6 InDesign. HELP.
tategraphics Feb 24, 2014 8:53 AM (in response to BobLevine)I instructed the student to do the following (and I have other files that will not open either)
1. Save as an .indd in their program (ie. CC)
2. Then export as an .idml (So that I can open it in CS6 to grade their projects)
Our college is still running CS6. I only have three students (out of 40) who can afford the CC cost. My college is considering nixing the program entirely because for us to run this program (CC) it will be be a 600% increase in cost over two years. Adobe's new subscription program is NOT popular in educational areas or with students who can barely cover the cost of their education already. It is really a shame. Not sure if Adobe is aware or or even cares how this is affecting education and the industry. Maybe you could pass that on to the "powers that be" so to speak. Thanks.

Laubender Feb 24, 2014 8:57 AM (in response to tategraphics)@tategraphics – if your three students subscribing to the full version of Creative Cloud they have also access to InDesign CS6 (amongst all other CS6 products of the CS6 Master Collection).
If they are subscribing to InDesign CC (v9.2) only, I'm not sure if InDesign CS6 is also available…

BobLevine Feb 24, 2014 9:07 AM (in response to tategraphics)And unless you stood over their shoulder you cannot eliminate my theory. So, if you’d care to post the file, I’ll be happy to take a look for you and if I’m correct, I’ll save it back.

Laubender Feb 24, 2014 9:17 AM (in response to tategraphics)And: there is this identify.jsx script by Jongware, that would check if and what version of InDesign this file would be… You can run it on any file. Even a file with wrong file extension.

BobLevine Feb 24, 2014 11:57 AM (in response to tategraphics)Dropbox would work as would any other file sharing service that doesn’t require me to set up an account.

Thanks. This contains the zipped/packaged file. Very simple beginning exercise. Nothing special. I appreciate helping me figure it out.

10. Re: Cannot open .idml file from CC in CS6 InDesign. HELP.
BobLevine Feb 24, 2014 12:58 PM (in response to tategraphics)I was right. It was just a renamed file. Give me a minute and I’ll email you the IDML.
