Remove Darwin Plug-in from existing Indesign files

[hkellogg]

Does anyone know how to eliminate the embedded requirement for the Darwin plug-in within InDesign.

We have files that students have created on machines that use Darwin. When those same files are opened on other machines, we get a message that states that "the Darwin plug-in is missing, do you want to open anyway?"

The file is usable when it is opened but it can't be "Packaged" in Indesign. This package function is very helpful with students as well as archiving.

Any ideas would be helpful.

If you export the file as an InDesign Interchange file, it should strip out the plugin information. Then, you can open it and resave it as an .indd.

This method can also be used to remove XMPie pluggin data.

This will also work
Create a new darwin file and then add a new blank InDesign file to it. With this new darwin file open, try and open your InDesign file. U will get a message about removing darwin from this file. All done
