@Tamara: Probably better to ask in the forums (click Forums above), rather than inside a blog post.

However, I wonder if that plug-in is from some commercial product (like XMPie?). Don’t know for sure.

Sorry to keep babbling on an old thread, but I found the thread and I’m sure that someone else will as well. Great tip above to use Adobe Bridge to check the file metadata. In fact, the “corrupt” files are reporting InDesign 5 (CS3) while the files that I can open are reporting InDesign 4 (CS2). As crazy as it seems, my issue appears to be related to a version issue — just like everyone else above has mentioned.

My previous post was in regards to CS2 on OS 10.4.11 accessing files stored on a Windows file server.

That said, it doesn’t appear to be as easy to blame as I previously thought. Some of the files that were moved on the Windows server are opening fine. Furthermore, I traced some of the problem files back to their original location on the Mac server (before the migration) and have found the same problem there.

In this instance, I don’t believe this is related to a CS version issue. There are plenty of “corrupt” files and almost no instances of CS3 anywhere at this company. Hard to believe that someone intentionally went through and opened thousands of files just to save them in a version that nobody else can open.

I also don’t believe the problem here is related to corrupt preferences. Why can I open some files and not others. At this point, I’m really not certain what kind of issue I am looking at.

Apparently you can also experience the problem if the files (stored on a Windows Server) are moved using Windows utilities. Perhaps some attribute about the file isn’t moved properly. Copying doesn’t seem to cause the problem. Just moving.

@Paddy: you need to read the comments above. You can't just download the plug-ins; you need CS3 or later.

Thanks to InDesign Secrets.com and it’s community for the help with the “LILO.InDesignPlugin and CellStyles.rpln.InDesignPlugin” problem I was having today!!

I have a PowerMac G5 tower and a MacBook Pro with Indesign CS2 on the G5 and InDesign CS3 on the MBP. Somehow I had gotten the CS3 file back on the G5 and was going nuts trying to open it!

Thanks again for clearing this issue up!

I used InDesign CS2 on a Mac at my former job. At home, I use InDesign CS2 on a PC running Windows XP. I can’t open any of my files at home.
I know I don’t have the same fonts at home that they had at work, and they probably have some plug-ins I don’t have.
Is there no way to open them? I only want to use them as portfolio samples to find another job. I can’t afford to upgrade the software.

Does anyone know where I can get the plugin for InDesign called PDF.RPLN? It is supposed to make it so you can open a pdf in InDesign.
