    Hi!

    I was wondering if anyone knows why this happens with some CS4 documents – not all, an what I can do about it. I've had to save it as something else to remove it. Little annoying when pressed for time :-)

    It should occur with every CS4 document … It automatically opens as a Copy because the file format is changed.

    This has always been the case with opening older version files.

    Hmm… they usually opens with [converted] after the document title, and it's possible to save over…

    Not quite the same as [read only] and impossible to save over…

    What's the difference?

    Oops — you're correct, I was thinking in the wrong direction!

    Is it possible these files came from something like a CD- or DVD-archive? Sometimes the read-only attribute gets copied along with the rest.

    Ok, does that mean that it can occur on files from an external server too? We are 25 designers working from the same server, and the files in question were opened from there…

    Where you able to fix this? I'm getting the same thing with the same situation your in, ~20 designers to 1 server, i ran in to this

    https://forums.adobe.com/messag…..74#2714174 somewhere in it someone says that as soon as the copy guys start working on it is when the problems starts, are you using incopy as well?

    No, I'm sorry to say – noone seems to be able to help. And it seems like it's getting worse. Some of us have had to open the same document up to five times before the [read only] disappears. I'm hoping it's a bug that will be fixed in the next upgrade :-)

    Good luck to you – and if you should find the answer – please post it here :-))

    Permissions or rogue .LCK files might be causing the problem, but if you copy the file to a local folder, open it there in CS5, then Save As over the original on the server, you will bypass any problem that's being created by InDesign. A bit tedious, perhaps, but less so than opening a file repeatedly until it just happens to be writable.
