Files with the INDD extension store professional projects of page layouts , created with the Adoba InDesing program. They store only important data, such as content of the page, graphic design, information on formatting, styles, information on related files and many other elements.
Files with the IDML extension are created with Adobe InDesign, and the full name of the format is the InDesign Markup Language. This program is designed for purpose of creating complex graphic layouts of pages, which are later used in magazines, newspapers, brochures, leaflets, books or eBooks.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the INDD file after converting to IDML may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from INDD to IDML to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting INDD to IDML does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in INDD format, properly converted to a IDML file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file INDD the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of INDD file to other than IDML. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your INDD file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to IDML on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the INDD file in its original format (without conversion to IDML file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
