In the mid-1920s, IJdo lived for several years in the Dutch East Indies, but his name again appears in Dutch film history in the autumn of 1928, when he and Piet Köhler announced their intent to begin a film factory called IFI; the plan was to make advertising and corporate films. In 1929, IFI produced several advertising films, but afterwards nothing more was heard from the company. IJdo died at the beginning of 1931 after a long period of illness.
