How to open INDN file?

The most common problem when using Adobe InDesign For Mac is that a specific INDN is not associated with the program. This causes the file INDN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INDN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Adobe InDesign

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Adobe InDesign is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Adobe InDesign into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file INDN.

Programs to open INDN file

Remember to download programs supporting INDN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe InDesign with INDN files

If, despite the installed application, the INDN file does not start in the Adobe InDesign application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the INDN file with the Adobe InDesign application.

Step 3. Update Adobe InDesign to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe InDesign program with the Adobe InDesign For Mac file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INDN file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The INDN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to INDN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our INDN file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover INDN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the INDN file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INDN files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adobe Systems Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file INDN except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the INDN file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the INDN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
