InDesign 2019 Fails to open properly and freezes.
I recently updated to InDesign 2019 and had no problem using it last week.
Today it is not opening properly, taking around 10 minutes to open a file, then freezes the second I try to do anything in a text box.It has occurred with every file I've tried, multiple times.
I have also tried ending all InDesign processes and restarting my computer.Not sure if anyone else has come across this issue?

Indd file crashes when editing, including it into a book or during the book synchronization
After the Indesign update to the 2020 version I started to have problems with a single file: the program crashes every time I try to edit this file (in particular when I try to modify the content in the middle of the file, at the end of a series of tables), to include it in a book, or to synchronize a book which includes this corrupted file.
I attach the corrupted file, so you can check
Is there a solutions?

Adobe InDesign CC2017 not working on MacOS Catalina
Adobe indesign CC 2017 ne fonstionne pas du tout sur mon Mac depuis que la mise à jour MacOS CAtalina a été installé.
2 votesMacOS 10.15(Catalina) is not supported platform for Adobe InDesign CC2017.
In macOS10.15 Apple enforced strict 64bit rules . Older apps having 32bit components won’t be able to run on Catalina.
InDesign CC 2017 also has few 32bit components hence, it will not run properly on macOS10.15.Recommendation:
Either move back to macOS10.14 OR update Adobe InDesign to latest version that is complete 64bit. -
Update 14.0.3 is broken
Upgraded to the latest InDesign today and now its completely broken as it crashes on launch. Steps that I have tried to fix the problem already are:
1. deleted InDD preferences and relaunched
2. Uninstalled InDD including preferences and reinstalled TWICE
3. Restarted Mac
3. Cold Restart MacOnly thing I have not tried is updating my Mac OS. I am running 10.14.2
I can run InDD version 13.1 (afraid to update that one to 13.1.1 now) but now I have to convert every file created under version 14.
Attached are the error messages.
I am really disappointed that this…

Applescript Droplet: InDesign 2020 issue
A much used droplet to export one or more InDesign documents to PDF (with dialog and settings) will not work with InDesign 2020 (v15.0.0.155) anymore (fine with InDesign CC 2019). InDesign 2020 opens the first (or the only) document. I can select options in the upcoming dialogue box, but then crashes immediately by clicking OK with an error message (see screenshot).
However, the same base code of the script works directly from InDesign to export the active document to PDF without any problems.
InDesign 2020 may not handle "on open ..." and / or "repeat with ..." in the droplet…
