IDML target file “not well-formed” when exporting comments in Studio 2024

When I have the setting on "Retain Studio comments as PDF comments in the target file" on in Studio 2024 CU1, the exported target file won't open in InDesign 2025.

Unchecking the box results in a good target file.

Studio version is: Trados Studio 2024 - 18.0.1.2259

InDesign version is 20.0.1

Trados Studio settings with 'Retain Studio comments as PDF comments in the target file' option checked.

Error message in Adobe InDesign stating 'Cannot open the document' with a file path and 'Not well-formed'.

    Apologies for missing this.  I have CU2 installed now and tested with that:

    Screenshot of Trados Studio interface showing comments and translation progress with a note about an issue with Studio comments as PDF comments in the target file.

    I saved the target and I can see my comment in the designmap.xml in the IDML:

    Snippet of XML code with a comment from a user named 'pfilkin' stating 'I'm on CU2' and other XML elements.

    And the file opens ok in InDesign:

    Screenshot of Adobe InDesign error message 'Cannot open the document... Not well-formed' with Trados Studio and InDesign versions listed in the background.

    I guess you are on CU2 now as well... do you still have this problem?

  • Thanks,  

    I just tried this, and it does work. Must have been fixed in CU2:

    Screenshot of a PDF document in Trados Studio with a comment panel on the right. The document contains German text 'Dies ist eine Beispieldatei mit einem Beispieltext. Ein einfaches Beispiel.' and the comment panel lists comments by 'danielhug' dated 27 Mar 2025, including a warning 'Segment-Kommentar (Warning)'.
