Today I have updated to InDesign 15.1 and when I try to export to PDF the application immediately crash.

This happen even I change the type of export (small dimension, print, etc.).

I'm using windows 10 pro ver. 1909 build 18363.836, and Indesign 15.1 x64.

The system start to work but the application crash at 16% of the export.

The problem seems connected with something on the file, because I try to export another project and it work perfectly.

The file was all "green" in the preliminary checks panel.

And I notice that the system crash also using other function, example scrolling the pages list or the links list.

There is something wrong in the new version 15.1 that stops the compiling. Unfortunately no errors appear, only application crash.

Coming back to version 15.0.3 have solved the problem and the file was perfectly exported in PDF.

Hello,
I keep having issues with Indesign (2019 and 2021 version, respectively on Mac Catalina and Mac BigSur) that continuously closes and will not reopen all files. I have reset the preferences of indesign through the commands listed on the help center and I have also cleared the caches in the recovery folder of Indesign.I have been in contact yesterday with the live support (where the operator had the control over my computer) in the chat, but also the operator could not fix this issue. This problem however does not occur on a windows computer. This is quite an urgent problem, as I have my entire thesis on this particular file, and I'm due to graduate in a month's time.

The sequence of letters -xx'-x crashes InDesign 2021 (v 16.0) as soon as you write this sequence yourself, copy or mark a letter from it (e.g. to change the text size) or do a search for this string, in a normal text field.

To reproduce the issue, simply write -xx'-x into a text field in InDesign 2021 or copy it into the text field. The X'x can be replaced here by other normal letters, upper and lower case doesn't seem to matter. The crash seems not to happen if the last X is a special character like ";" or "! Furthermore, there must be two or more letters before the '-x

The Font-Family also doesn´t play a role here. We tested it with different fonts.

Since we have a lot of documents with this letter combination, we cannot edit them in Indesign 2021 anymore. On InDesign 2020 it worked without problems.

Tested with InDesign 2021 (German Version) on different Imacs and Macbooks with macOS Catalina 10.15.6 and Imac with Mojave macOS 10.14.

I'm working in Windows 10, Adobe InDesign version 16. I only recently updated to this version and it is unusable. At first it allowed me to open an .indd file, but then refused to open another until I rebooted. I did this multiple times with a group of files that I need to complete. After a day of this, now InDesign 16 crashes without ever opening whether I try to open it on its own or through clicking on an .indd file. I then removed it and installed version 15.1.3, but when I attempt to open my files, it says they were modified with v16 and it has to convert them to an older version. I click Convert, and it just sits there and never resolves. I am truly screwed in that I cannot open my files in either version now. I have found numerous complaints online about this very issue, but Adobe continues to put this update on Creative Cloud and encourages users to download it. We need real solutions now.

Running InDesign 16.0.1 on Catalina. Mac workstation connected SMB to Windows server.

InDesign crashes shortly after working in a different program and returning to InDesign. Report the crash then try to reopen InDesign from doc icon (or CC). It crashes again. Report, reopen from doc icon (or CC, or in applications folder). Get error message that InDesign crashed trying to load the recovery file, can't locate the recovery file. In order to open InDesign I must click "no" to not try to recover the file.

I have reset preferences, created a new workspace (instead of using previous version's saved workspace), uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

Mostly returning to InDesign from Chrome – Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (x86_64). Or from Photoshop 22.1.

The recovery folder has 70 files from Oct.-Dec. 2020.

Attached are screenshots of the crash reports and the error message from InDesign. There was only one doc open and it was saved with a filename, there was no "untitled" file open.
