| Open a DesignCraft or InDesign (IDML) file | Open a .designcraft document or an InDesign Markup (.idml) file, and what to do about missing fonts and warnings. | 20 | 0.6.0 |
Choose File, then Open… (Ctrl+O), and pick a .designcraft or .idml file. The file opens as a new document.
Steps
- Open the File menu and choose Open…. On the start screen you can click Open instead.
- In the file dialog, pick a file. The dialog lists two kinds: DesignCraft (
.designcraft) and InDesign Markup (IDML) (.idml). - Confirm the dialog. The document opens as a new document.
What the Open dialog accepts
The Open dialog lists .designcraft and .idml files only. To bring an image, a PDF or a text file into a document, use Place instead.
IDML is InDesign Markup, the exchange format InDesign can export. Linked images are read from next to the file or from its Links folder. If a Document Fonts folder sits beside the file, DesignCraft loads those fonts first.
Missing fonts
Text that uses a font DesignCraft cannot find is highlighted in pink. This is the missing-font highlight. Put the font files in a Document Fonts folder beside the file, or install the fonts on your system, so DesignCraft can find them.
Import warnings
If an IDML package is missing some of its parts, DesignCraft still opens what it can and shows an alert titled Import Warnings that names the missing parts. Your other open documents stay as they are. Click OK to close the alert.
Save it again
File, then Save (Ctrl+S) writes a .designcraft file. To hand the layout back to InDesign, use File, then Export IDML….
