I made my End-of-High school Project in Indesign and my trial expired.

I had to make a scientific poster to present our End-of-High school Project. I put a lot of work into it and my trial expired. I can't export my work anymore and unless I can export it from outside of Indesign me and my entire group are going to have to start again. Is there something like an Indesign Viewer where you can only watch your Indesign file and export it to other file types?

You can subscribe for one month to do whatever it is you need to do.

What if I don't have 600 euros lying around for about 5 minutes of Indesign? Everything is finished? I just want to save to a PDF?

*40 euros

Firstly Creative Cloud Version of InDesign would not cost you 600 Euros... Probably around... 34 euros for 1 month...so I assume you are being sarcastic (I hope!).... but as I said post a dropbox link or whatever and maybe someone will convert to PDF for you?

One MONTH! It’s about US$30

In answer to your question there isn't anything that I am aware of that is free to do this.

I would suggest the best solution would be as BobLevine pointed out and only pay for one month of InDesign (month by month subscription not annual pay monthly).

If your group is not willing to each chip in a couple of quid/dollars/etc that it would cost you then you could persuade someone who is very kind to save your work as a PDF or Word document/Power point slide etc for you. However you would need to post the file online via a file sharing service such as Dropbox.

Best,

Thanks I'll try that. Spending 40 euros just seems a bit overkill for something I'll probably never use again.

Why would you use a trial for something that you need to keep working on? And why not have one of your friends do a 7-day trial and convert it for you?

Or this ^^

It'll be £30.34 for a month in the UK and plus an invaluable lesson, always back-up your work, which my not be strictly appropriate in this case but you get the same kind of fear when you lose work and you haven't made a backup. Always make regular incremental backups, both internally and externally.
