Don’t panic. Your file is not destroyed. As long as you can open the file, there is hope.

Follow these simple steps to save a corrupt file in InDesign.

Step One: Open your file in InDesign

Step Two: Click ‘File’ then ‘Save As’ or ‘Save a Copy’

Step Three: Make sure to save it on your desktop

Step Four: Click ‘Format’ then select ‘InDesign CS4 or older (IDML)’
