InDesign 2019 keeps crashing when I change the document size in the properties panel.
Every time I want to change the document/page size in the properties panel so I can have different page sizes in the document InDesign crashes. Over and over.

Export to PDF crashes when Printer's Marks checked on in PDF export window menu (Indesign 14.0.1 )
When I leave Printer's Marks unchecked, Indesign exports effortlessly.
Crashing while exporting to PDF happens with any design, regardless of the contents in the design (RGB, .ai files, etc.)
I have tested it on exporting older designs that have already been sent to print with printer's marks, prior to this issue.
Note: checking or unchecking Bleed and Slug don't interfere – only Printer's Marks do.
1 voteBased on user comments that the crash was no longer reproducible in 14.0.1, we’re closing this issue.

Crashes while inserting a new page in between document
Im using Indesign CC 2019 to create a 180 paged book. While trying to insert a new page in between or delete a page, it keeps loading for a very long time (7-8 mins) and then shows a error message sometimes or mostly crashes.
This problem just started occurring from yesterday. So far the file was fine.

Indesign 2019 CC crash after relink document
Every time when I try to relink a document in Indesign 2019 CC, the program crashes. I already send several crash reports to Adobe, no respond.

Crash when searching for column break
Indesign 2018 crashes when searching for column break (~M) – with Find/Change dialog box or via script. It works for me with CC 2017. Not yet tested with CC2019.

Example document can be downloaded here: https://adobe.ly/2SGVPsy.
Happens in CS6, CC 2019 as well.
Find/Change for Column Break in GREP tab of Find/Change crashes InDesign.

InDesign 14.1
Opening InDesign just by itself makes it freeze completely. Ball of death (on Mac) .
It asks me if I want to start automatic recovery however I can't click on any of the options because the ball of death doesn't let me. The window with the recovery message consequently shows up on top of any other screen.I could make InDesign work ONCE yesterday after restarting and today it completely crashes again. Unfortunately it also means one of my files is now stuck 'open' which is untimely.
This is the latest verstion both of InDesign as well as Mac OS.…

Assembled files in assignments crash regularly when updated
Assignments in Indesign regularly crash the program when parts need updating This is especially bad when an assigned part has been worked on in the assigned file or if the respective file runs over various pages or if it contains complex .ai-images. As soon as you click on the yellow icon to update a part Indesign crashes again and again. To solve the problem I have deleted certain text files completely from the assembly and reentered them afterwards, which is much more effort and doesn't always work.

Fails with certain Illustrator images
It happened a few times to me that Indesign keeps crashing when certain (complex) .ai images are used - which shouldn't be as I thought Adobe files would perfectly interact with other Adobe programs.
When these are changed to png images and I am able to open the Indesign file and update them, Indesign works perfectly well again. At times it is not possible at all to open the file or change the image and the file needs to be reacreated.1 voteTo identify the cause of this issue, we had started our investigation with the aim to resolve it.
