Problem With Generating Xliff file from IDML

Hi,

I have imported an IDML file into Studio 2019 and have the message 'Pre-scanning error, the selected IDML file was created by an unsupported version of InDesign and will not be processed. I have checked with my client and they created the files using the latest version of InDesign 2020 (as it auto-updates, it’s currently version 15.0.1.209). 

I need to get an xliff produced and have a short turnaround time, any suggestions as to what could be the issue and how to resolve it?

Cheers.

  • You can force Studio to process the file by unticking the setting "Process unsupported file versions"
    The settings is under File > Options > File Types

    Trados Studio screenshot showing the File Types options with 'Process unsupported file versions' unchecked under Adobe InCopy CS4-CC ICML settings.

    Having said that, I would also run a test and generate the target file just to be safe.
    Now, if this doesn't work, InDesign can export IDML files for older versions of InDesign. I believe under Save As there is the option "InDesign CS4 or Later (IDML)".
