Issues with Indesign
I have experienced multiple stability issues with Adobe InDesign 2026.
The most serious issue has happened twice. While working normally on a document, multiple pages suddenly appear completely blank, as though all of their contents have disappeared. The pages become entirely white inside InDesign.
I first noticed the issue while exporting the document to PDF because the exported PDF also contained these blank pages.
I was not performing any unusual operations beforehand. I was simply editing the document, saving frequently, and exporting to PDF.
The linked images and assets were stored locally on my computer and were never moved, renamed, or deleted. No missing-link warnings or other error messages were displayed.
Interestingly, I was able to temporarily recover the document by using File > Save As and saving it as a new InDesign file. After doing this, all of the missing page contents reappeared. However, after continuing to work on the new file, the exact same issue occurred again.
In addition to this problem, I have experienced repeated issues when exporting PDFs. Even exporting a single page or only a few pages can take an unusually long time. During these exports, InDesign sometimes becomes completely unresponsive, forcing me to restart my computer because the application freezes.
At no point did InDesign display an error message explaining the problem.
My biggest concern is that this issue has now happened twice without any apparent cause. It makes me feel that my documents are unstable and that I could lose many hours of work even though I am following a normal workflow and saving frequently.
This has significantly affected my confidence in using InDesign for professional work. I would appreciate it if Adobe could investigate whether this is a document stability or PDF export bug.
