Hello,
My system rebooted after the occurrence of a system error while I was working on a project in “Adobe InDesign”. When I tried to go to my previous work, it’s now showing me the error message (like in the screenshot). I need to retrieve my work done. Please help me in this regard.
‘Cannot open “bottega.indd.”
The file “bottega.indd.” is damaged and cannot be recovered (Error code: 5).’
“bottega.indd.” is damaged and cannot be recovered
Hello Charles
This happens mainly because the application didn't shut down properly when your file bottega.indd was open. Anyways, Do you receive any recovery message when you try to open the file, if you do then , click yes to recover the remaining contents of the file.
However if you do not, you can try some other steps to recover your data which may be lengthy but can be useful. You can try to open this file in notepad, then copy all of your text and then paste into your program again.
Or
you can try to open this file in adobe acrobat, then you can save them as pdf or you can print them out.
Thanks
Bennie

If your computer suddenly restarted while working with Adobe InDesign and the file is now showing that error when you open it, it probably indicates that the file is corrupted. This is probably the result after your computer rebooted. To check where the problem is originating, first, copy the affected file on a USB flash drive.
Next, plug the USB flash drive on another computer that also has Adobe InDesign and open the file there to see if the error follows. If you see the same error, it means the file you are working on is now corrupted. In this case, you have to start all over again if you have no backup.
If you have a backup copy, open the backup and start working there. On the other hand, if the file opens on the other computer, it means the problem is with your software or Adobe InDesign. In this case, trash Adobe InDesign and install it back.
