Keep Getting an error code 205 when launching InDesign
Bonjour,
Depuis ma dernière mise à jour InDesign 17.3 le code erreur 205 s’affiche, j’ai essayé de le désinstaller, réinstaller… Mais rien à faire. J’ai donc suivi les instructions d’Abobe par rapport au code erreur 205 mais toujours la même chose. Après avoir insisté j’ai enfin réussi à ouvrir InDesign, tout fonctionnait bien. Mais quand j’ai redémarré mon ordinateur je ne pouvais plus utiliser InDesign (code erreur 205).Aujourd’hui même en téléchargeant la version antérieure le code d’erreur 205 s’affiche au démarrage du logiciel Indesign. Le reste des logiciels eux fonctionne bien. Merci de votre aide !1 voteRefer to Adobe Forum thread for resolution. https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/keep-getting-an-error-code-205-when-launching-indesign-2019-and-2020/td-p/10737948

Error code: 3 - Cannot save <filename>. The file <DBTMPxxxxxxx> is damaged.
Ever since I updated my system to Mojave 10.14.6, I have been getting an "error code: 3" warning when saving my file in InDesign 16.1.0.20. Tried doing a "Save As" and adjusting the file name slightly, but nothing I've tried has worked yet. I have had to save an IDML and revert to InDesign 15.1.3.
1 voteWith the release of InDesign 2020(15.0.1), we have enhanced our recovery workflow which fixes multiple scenarios of document corruption.
If your file is still not getting repaired in latest InDesign , can you please share the document with Grp-idfile@adobe.com.
Thanks,

InDesign Suffers Major Performance Issues When InCopy Files Are Linked To .indd File
I use InDesign a lot for production art. Mostly I layout text and images for product manuals that range between 110 - 250 pages. It runs like a champ on both my Dell XPS 8930 and iMac 2019. Both machines are robust with 32 Gb of ram. However, once I convert text and graphics to InCopy files, I see a huge drop in machine performance. Doing the slightest things like updating the ICMA / ICML file will hang or crash InDesign. Even saving the file can take 2 minutes. I've had 3 instances where the InDesign file got corrupted from…

Crash when scaling text beound 1296 pt
I can repeatably make InDesign crash by:
1: Creating a big page (Mine is 250x100cm)
2: Making a textframe and writing a short word (I wrote "café")
3: Hit "E" and scale the frame by dragging the corners
4: If I scale the frame so the point size is higher than 1296 pt InDesign will crash.I am on InDesign 15.0.2 on MacOS 10.14.6

Crashes on opening document created in indd 2019
Crashed as soon as I opened a document from 2019. After several tries, I was able to open the same document successfully, but it didn't recognize fonts in the Document fonts folder. It didn't matter whether it was opened from within InDesign or from the Finder. The successful attempt was from the Finder.

2020 moving pages
If I move pages that have hyperlinks from a 2019 ID version (converted), the move crashes ID 2020. The only way to get the move to stop crashing ID 2020 is to delete all the hyperlinks in the source ID doc that was converted from ID 2019.
Version is ID 15.0.1 ... and doing a reboot didn't fix it. I also saved the converted file as IDML to try and remove the "corruption" (that has worked in the past) and the re-constituted INDD file still crashes ID 2020.
If I try to copy and paste a text block with links…

Deleting a table row containing text crashes InDesign
Quite simply, deleting a table row with 3 columns and a combination of text and font awesome crashes when using right click -> delete -> row.
I can replicate the issue every single time across multiple documents.
The current workaround for me is to delete all the content in the table row then deleting the row seems to be OK.Indesign: 15.0.1
Mac OS: Mojave 10.14.6 (MacBook Pro)
Note: This didn't happen on InDesign v14.0.3.Thanks,

InDesign 2020 freezes when placing articles with endnotes (big file)
Working with a approximately 500 paged book, 30 articles with endnotes.
Now with 20 articles / 300 pages done, InDesign 2020 freezes when placing new articles.
Please, please, please: fix the issue with a possibility to keep all endnotes in a separate ID-file (linking endnotes to other ID-files)! Because of this, now forced to have the whole, massive book in one ID-file.

12/05/19 Updates in Indesign
Update on 12/05/19 caused stability issues in Indesign. Since this update, my indesign has been crashing, unresponsive, and about as bad as AI. This program is my workhorse and I need it to function. Documents take about 5-10 minutes to open, even longer to save, and scrolling in multi-page documents is tough because it lags so hard.

Indesign 2020 Crashing when deleting color swatches
Indesign 2020 has been repeatedly crashing when a color swatch (or multiple swatches) in a document are deleted and replaced with an existing swatch. Indesign crashes the moment "ok" is pressed on the "Delete Swatches" popup.
This has been happening since I updated to InDesign 2020, approximately 10 times in the past week, most, but not every, time that I delete swatches. This has happened in multiple documents, regardless of whether it is a single swatch or group of swatches being deleted.
