INDD file viewer or converter
Received a file with a our neighborhood newsletter on it but it is in an INDD format. It looks like it is from Adobe Indesign but I can not work with it. I basically need to convert to a PDF or even just view it for printing. May be a Mac file not sure.
Any ideas.....google didn't lend me much....still searching though.
Thx

You can download Indesign CS as a tryout for 30 days. Download it here:

Hope you have broadband, it's 391MB.
So far I haven't found anything like Adobe Acrobat Reader for .indd files.
Edit - Adobe does have a converter script to go from .indd to .pdf, but you have to indesign to use it.

Thanks Jamz but I actually need to view the file.
I'm downloading the trial but that is only for today.
momalle1, thanks for the offer but it will be a monthly thing. Since you have the program is it difficult for her to save as a PDF or other standard format? I would think it is easy but want to give her specific directions.
Thanks again.

I am no expert on Adobe apps, however, I just reloaded my Mac tower with Tiger (only Tiger lets the disk utility see my added DVD burner) so i had a fresh install to work with. I loaded InDesign 2.0 and made a document. I do not have any other Adobe apps on this machine. From the file menu, there is an "Export" option, one of the choices is PDF. I exported the document, and it opened on my PC which only has Acrobat reader installed. Hope that helps.
