Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know
What is an IDML (InDesign Markup Language) file?
An IDML file is the XML-based interchange format exported by Adobe InDesign to capture spreads, master pages, typography styles, layers, and linked assets inside a portable package. Teams exchange IDML when localizing marketing collateral or rebuilding layouts across InDesign versions because it keeps the design structure editable. Translating IDML with OpenL preserves text frames, style names, and layout intent so designers can reopen the translated document in InDesign and finalize artwork without reflow surprises.
