Unable to open IDML file


Recommended Posts

I'm evaluating the trial version of Publisher.

I'm a software developer for a printing business, and I'm creating valid IDML files using python. Those files are opened without a problem from InDesign, however Publisher is returning to me an error.

I've attached the IDML file, can someone help figuring out if this is a problem of my IDML or a problem in Publisher? 

Thanks.

Opened your file in Indesign (CS6), saved as new idml. This second idml openend in Publisher as expected.

Changed the extention of both idml-files to .zip and extracted both files.

The second zip-file contained the following files/folders:

– Resources
– designmap.xml
– META-INF
– mimetype    
– XML
– Stories
– Spreads
– MasterSpreads

Your file only contained

– designmap.xml

– mimetype
 

I hope this helps to find a solution.

@Riccardo56789.

This IDML file conforms to a schema we don't support at the moment.

We only support full IDML package files in a similar fashion to that which InDesign saves. There's a chance in the future we may look at supporting this schema InDesign supports, where everything is contained within a single XML file, but for now I'm afraid we won't be able to open this type of IDML file.

Thanks
