Cannot save file " " under a new name. The file "DBTmp982766505057" is damaged (Error code: 0).
I just upgraded to Mac OS 10.14.6 Mojave in order to accommodate the latest Adobe CC 2019, which I also just installed. I have yet to be able to save an InDesign file. I keep getting the above message.

Does it happen on Save or SaveAs or both?
Are you able to export a PDF out of this document? -
InDesign Crashing when inserting footnote or carriage return
Running Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6 and inDesign CC 2019.
I have used InDesign since it replaced PageMaker, and PageMaker for a decade before that. It almost *never* misbehaves ... so I am grieved to report that I just crashed InDesign three times in a row.
I am editing an existing 20-page, single-column document. The first two times I tried to insert a footnote, InDesign crashed dramatically -- the windows disappeared and the program icon in my Dock no longer showed the dot indicating an open application. The third time I inserted a carriage return and InDesign crashed the same way.

InDesign 2019 is up to date.2 votesAre you able to saveAs/ SaveACopy the file locally?
What is the exact version of InDesign 2019 are you using? 14.0.1/14.0.2/14.0.3?
Is it happening with all InDesign files?
Which OS version are you using? -
Anchored item with white overprints
This is a 'white' bug.
I regularly use anchoring to keep items aligned and for spacing.
Text is black. Art or tables need white in them to knockout the shade beneath.When a table is placed inline or a piece of art is anchored in a text box that has a color or a border... the white is ignored in the anchored object.
There is no reason to ignore a color just because it is inline or anchored.
This bug forces me to layer the object on a different layer, causing extra work in keeping the item aligned after edits.

InDesign buffers every 5 seconds
I am on a new MacBook Pro; every other adobe program runs fine, including After Effects. There shroud be no reason why drawing my second text box InDesign makes it borderline crash. Im working off my internal hard drive and it is happening with every InDesign file. I have the display performance set to fast and I have no other programs opened.

master page
The header items of my master pages are not always exporting. The top image is form the PDF. The bottom image is from the InDesign file. Notice how the gray rule is missing from the PDF. Sometimes the rule is missing from the left hand pages, sometimes it's on the right-hand pages.
The affected master pages were child master pages, and I was able to get around this issue by detaching the rule from the parent master page, and making it standalone on the child master page. Has anyone else experienced this issue? This appears to be a very recent…

InDesign Is Still Unusably Slow
Despite this forum being filled with "solved" reports of InDesign being unusably slow, it remains so.
I am editing a 4 page document that is almost all text, and yet I get the spinning ball after each and every keystroke. It can take 5-10 seconds just to complete typing a word, and heaven help me if I make a mistake and need to backspace.I just updated InDesign this morning so I am on 14.0.2. I'm running Windows 10 1903. The machine is an MSI laptop with an i7 processor and 12GB of RAM.
I have attempted to edit the…

No longer shows hidden characters for one particular document.
I just updated to InDesign 14.0.2 x64 on Windows 7.
The option Type > Show Hidden Characters no longer works for this document.
It does not show newlines, paragraph marks, etc.
This document has one pages at 2.5" x 5" size, with only text.1 voteHi,
Please confirm if toggling the View→Screen Mode from Preview to Normal, shows up the hidden charactersThanks

eyedropper tool
Using the eyedropper tool to select a color from the desired text is not working properly. Only strokes are painted with the desired color, not the text. It should like Illustrator's eyedropper tool which works perfectly. I have to use Illustrator's eyedropper tool to get the desired results I want.
2 votesHi,
Please can you confirm if the “Character Settings” are turned on in the Eyedropper options?
you can double click the eyedropper tool to check the eyedropper optionsThanks

Warnhinweis "Dokument wurde außerhalb des Buches bearbeitet"
Wird eine Buchdatei bearbeitet und geschlossen ohne das das Fenster Buch geöffnet ist, wird das Dokument mit dem Warnhinweis "Dokument wurde außerhalb des Buches bearbeitet" markiert.
Dieser Fehler tritt nicht auf, wenn das Fenster Buch beim Schließen oder Speichern geöffnet bzw. angezeigt wird.
Es ist kein Grund für dieses Verhalten zu erkennen. In den letzten ID Versionen trat dieser Effekt nicht auf.7 votesHi,
Please can you share a sample book with which i can reproduce the issue.

storing files on desktop
Not an idea, but a problem...InDesign support is telling me that I need to store my customer's book (a catalog) on my desktop AND all the associated images...that's impossible...there are over 1300 images in this 180 page book.
ID crashed three consecutive times today trying to open the book to change the dates which appear on the master pages...I'm using the most updated version of creative cloud in a windows 10 environment...
Any ideas of how to fix this?

hyperlinks missing or corrupt when opening CC2017 documents into CC2019
InDesign files opened from CC2017 (They were on our backup server from a job 3 years ago) using InDesign 14.0.2 x64 on Win10 64bit (CC2019) -
They open fine without any issue except the hyperlinks - they are all broken/corrupt. When doubleclicking on one, it is effectively blank, as if I were making a new one.
I tried saving as .idml and reloading, but it was still the same. How can I get these hyperlinks back to normal? Do I have to reinstall CC2017 again (is that even possible?).
Any help greatly appreciated1 votePlease provide more information to santalwa@adobe.com –

3 types of consistent crashes during past 3 months
Using version 14.0.2 x64 under Windows 10.
Working on a 356-page book. Three types of crashes occur consistently:
1 - When I export to PDF.
2 - When I add pages, usually in increments of 10.
3 - When I switch between single-page layout and 2-page spread layout.After every crash, when I go to open the file, inDesign offers to auto recover the file. When I say yes, InDesign warns me that the file might be corrupt. I always open anyway. After 3 months working on this book, I can't afford to start over, so I hope for the…

Italics not showing in InDesign CC2019 - but does in all other versions
I have a .docx file that when brought into InDesign CC2019 (14.0.2) the italics do not show. The italics show in all other versions of InDesign. This is worrying for when we work on long documents. The error still occurs if the file is changed to a .doc file.

Can you please tell me what part of text in the word file is not imported as italics in Indesign?
The italics portion in the word file are:
Australian Book Review
