Opening old documents (InDesign)
Opening old InDesign files (INDD) in a newer InDesign version requires you to upgrade the INDD file to work with it.
Adobe enforces this; hence, it is not something we have control over.
Example - Insert from Desktop or local folder
So, let’s say you insert an INDD file made in InDesign 17 from the Desktop or a folder on your PC.
You’ll be presented with the following prompt .
...
- where the tab in InDesign will say “…[Converted]” (1):
...
Here, you select the InDesign document inside the prompt (2) (there will always only be one) and press Save.
Your local copy of this file will be upgraded to the newest version.
Even if you make no changes to the file, uploading your upgraded file is recommended - as this will ensure that your colleagues don’t have to do this manual step the next time.
| Info |
|---|
Feel free to upgrade the INDD files; the DAM Center stores all old versions of all files that are replaced. |
Example - Insert from the connector
The connector handles the conversion from a previous version (Indesign 17) to a new InDesign version (InDesign 18) automatically.

The connector does not handle the conversion from a new InDesign version (InDesign 18) to a previous version (InDesign 17) |
