InDesign 14.0.3 document Missing/Invisible text and photos
I am using Indesign v. 14.0.3 on a mac with High Sierra 10.13.6.
I save my projects regularly the whole time I'm working, so it's not a saving issue. Everything was there when I saved and closed the project before this.
I've been working on a project layout for over two weeks now. Last night I was putting the final version together when it started slowing down, taking a long time to move an item, etc. I saved my project and closed Indesign. I reopened after a while hoping the glitch had time to resolve itself.
When I open the project now, whole pages are blank. However, everything still shows in the Layers panel as being on the page(s). When I select the item, either it shows me the bounding box but not the text, or it shows me the linked file box with nothing in it, or it shows that the selected item is located in the center seam of the spread with no way to select or move or recover it.
I really don't want to have to recreate a 32-page catalog on its due date. I have not had a single issue with Indesign on this project until this happened last night.
Just spent almost 3 hours on Chat with Adobe - multiple steps and hoops - and still no change, no resolution of the issue. The final step? Recreate the document. So, 75-100 hours of work - just recreate it. 24 hours before my deadline.
So frustrated.
