I'm working on a document in InDesign. I have CS3 Creative Suite. I have used this for a while now and not had this problem, but when I go to "place" and try to insert a "pdf" file, it will not allow me to do it any longer. The error says "Failed to open the pdf file". Does anyone now what the fix is for this? I use pdf files all the time in InDesign, don't know what has happened. Thanks for any help that may be given. Diana

Try selecting the 'options' checkbox when placing the PDF - this should avoid this problem.... Jon

I have been having this problem with PDFs of charts in Excel. I'm using InDesign CS3 for the Mac. The files open fine in Acrobat, but will not place in InDesign. One solution that worked, but is suboptimal is to export the PDF file to Postscript and then redistill it. Since I often need to make simple instructions for students who need to use InDesign, this kind of problem is a real pain. Alan
