If you have a file that won’t open, doesn’t preview properly or keep on crashing then try out this Quick Tip to fix the problem. I can’t promise that the below given solution will fix this issue but it has worked most of the time. Try this method if you have a corrupt InDesign files.
Step 1: If you can open the File but it’s Corrupted If you have corrupt InDesign files but it open then try this method. Open your corrupt file and move to File > Export
Step 2: In the export panel choose “InDesign Interchange” from drop down menu. Save it to your preferred location. If everything went smoothly then you will find the file: filename.inx
Step 3: Close your corrupt file and open the new created file. When .inx file opens in your InDesign you will find that it is classified as an “Untitled Document”. Your original content / design must be present there and you file must be bug free.

Now check the links and typefaces are related correctly. Check your images, colors and typefaces by using the preflight option File > Preflight
