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.
3 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. -
Crash on deleting duplicated XML tag
Indesign CC 2019 (Version 14.0.1)
Mac OS Mojave on Mac mini (Late 2014)Hello, I have a document ready to import XML data, with existing XML structure and tagged elements in page.

Crash when placing DOCX with paragraphStyles
Version: InDesign 14.0.1, macOS 10.14.3
Steps:
1. Open attached InDesign document (please rename .jpg in .indd, there was a bug while uploading the file)
2. Place "ThisDocumentHasParagraphStyles.docx" in the document
3. InDesign crashes :-(It seems it has something to do with the ParagraphStyles that are in the Word document. If I try to place the DOCX file named "ThisDocumentDOESNTHaveParagraphStyles.docx", then InDesign doesn't crash.
Attached is a screen video capture of the process (rename .jpg in .mp4 please)
Please help!

crash
For several days we've had crashes while Indesign CC 2019 (14.0.01) being idle. Might be because links (*.psp and/or *.indd) are breaking due to network issues, but should not crash even so, just say links are broken. This has resulted in several files corrupted and cannot be restored even if those documents themselves are not affected by the broken links. The Indesign temp-files also seem to become corrupt (often showing 0 byte size).
I've sent several crash reports and heard nothing.

Crash on using Align Distribute option
Help!! I used to be able to get the page tool, highlight multiple pages across a spread in the pages palette, then set the space between pages in the toolbar and use the distribute button to get even spacing between pages. Since updating to InDesign 2019 (v14.0.1), the “use spacing” measurement field never completely shows in the info bar, and every time I hit the “distribute horizontal” button, InDesign IMMEDIATELY crashes. I am using MacOS 10.13.6. Please help, I use this feature A LOT.
3 votesThe fix for this issue is now available in the latest update 14.0.2 of InDesign 2019.

workspace
After a crash, no workspaces will load properly, neither pre-existing nor created. Right now I have to move between Essentials Classic and Interactive for PDF just to try to get most of the tools - though some tool I still cannot access. There is no top bar and few tools that load, plus the files when they open are sized tiny and hiding. I have to float in window to get them to appear.
I have tried to reset them and create a new workspace, but cannot get anything to help...

Crash in InCopy corrupts InDesign file
File crashed when writer and designer were making single story InCopy edits back and forth. They made single story edits with no problem, but then tried to export a selection of 12 stories (all on 1 page) by selecting all 12 stories and exporting selection. When the writer opened InCopy to edit the page, it crashed every time she scrolled to that page.
The InDesign file then became corrupt and would crash immediately upon opening. Was able to save a version of the original file with a new name, but various text (on placed library items) is missing on the…

This is a wild one that has happened multiple times now. InDesign will crash on my machine in the following specific circumstance:

3) the PDF has an open comment box with currently highlighted text,
4) I try to highlight other text within the comment box in order to copy that instead,
5) and InDesign crashes hard (closes completely).In case it matters, InDesign crashes before…

Indesign crashes when I export 2 PDF files in a row.
I always create two PDF files for clients. One with spreads and one with single pages. But every time I try to export the second PDF (no matter which I do first) the app crashes.
This happens every single time, even if I wait until the first PDF is long finished.

pasting crash
InDesign CC 13.1 — EVERY time I copy text from another program (PDF, email, Word, ANYTHING other text within InDesign), InDesign crashes immediately upon pasting into a text box within InDesign. No spinning beach ball. Just shuts down and closes. This is untenable and needs to be fixed. Productivity and my job depend on it. Can anyone please help solve this issue? Thank you.

Cannot open file due to deleting hyperlinks in Indesign CC 2018
I was deleting the list of hyperlinks in my file and it crashed. So I kept saving the file after every hyperlink I had deleted so that I can find out which one was the root problem, but now I cannot even open the file as it just crashes immediately it opens. At this moment in time I have to do the whole job again.
