Does Studio 2011 (or 2014) support InDesign CC files?? I tried to open an InDesign CC file (converted in idml-format) in Studio 2011 but it doesn't work...
I've just installed Studio 2014 and unfortunately I cannot open InDesign CC files (in idml-format)... I cannot understand it as CC (idml-format) is mentioned in the list of the supported files. Is there someone who can give me a hint???

Error when opening IDML file in SDL Trados Studio 2011: "The selected IDML file was created by an unsupported version of Adobe InDesign"
Symptoms When you try to open an IDML file in SDL Trados Studio 2011, the following error message occurs:
The selected IDML file was created by an unsupported version of Adobe InDesign and will not be processed.
Explanation Studio shows this error message because the original file was created in Adobe InDesign CC version, which is not supported in SDL Trados Studio 2011. Adobe InDesign CC file types are fully supported starting with SDL Trados Studio 2014.
Resolution
There are two workarounds that enable you to open Adobe InDesign CC files in SDL Trados Studio 2011.
NOTE: The following workarounds may cause you to lose some Adobe InDesign CC. After the forward and backward conversion, carefully check the files for any issues.
Workaround 1
Open the IDML file in Adobe InDesign CS6 and re-save the file as IDML. Open the new saved IDML file in SDL Trados Studio 2011.
Workaround 2
NOTE: This workaround requires changing information in the IDML files. Therefore, SDL does not recommend this workaround.
To retrieve the required information from the IDML file, first make sure you:
Have WinZip, WinRAR or a similar (de-)compressing tool installed on your machine. Deactivate the option Hide file extensions for known file types for your operating system (refer to KB article #3330 for instructions). Have a text editor installed, for example Notepad. Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad to access it. Then:
Close Adobe InDesign on your machine. Browse to your IDML document. Highlight the document with one mouse click and press [F2]. Rename the file type extension *.idml to *.zip and press Enter. Extract the renamed document with either WinZip or WinRar to a folder. Open your text editor and click on File > Open. Browse to the extracted folder and open the fole designmap.xml. When the file designmap.xml is open in the text editor, find the field that looks like this: product="9.0 (244)" Change the line to product = "8.0(370)". This is the highest version that SDL Trados Studio 2011 recognizes at the moment. Save the changes and close the editor again. Re-zip all the files and folders. Change the file extension back from *.zip to *.idml. Now open the file in Studio 2011. ▲ Collapse
