Sources of IDD Problems


Frequent IDD Opening Issues

Adobe InDesign is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your IDD file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open IDD Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Adobe InDesign for %%os%% installed on your computer. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens IDD files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of Adobe InDesign is Installed

Sometimes your installed version of Adobe InDesign won't support your Adobe InDesign For Mac Document file. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe InDesign installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Adobe InDesign For Mac Document file was created by a different (newer) version of Adobe InDesign than what's installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the IDD file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening IDD files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
