Try restoring your InDesign preferences. Here's how:
Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences

InDesign crashes when updating InCopy ICML files

I created an assignment file with around 20 different stories. The next time I opened InDesign the writer had input text to most of the story files. One story file was a couple of pages of text, the rest were just a few lines of copy, nothing huge. Every time I tried to update the ICML files InDesign crashed. I didn't matter if I only tried updating one story or all of them, it always crashed. I was working on a PC when this happened. I moved over to my Mac to try and updated the ICML files and it crashed there too.
The actual InCopy ICML files on the server were fine. The writer never realized there was a problem. All of the copy was sitting there, so I was able to go back and re-import all the copy.
I did all the basic stuff to resolve the issue like restart, trash the prefs, convert to INX, and try on different computer. Nothing worked, crashed InDesign every time.
I'm currently using CS5, but this same issue came up last year on another project in CS4 as well.
Has anyone had this happen and/or know of a fix other than re-importing all the story files?

Some might call me crazy, but in order to progress with my project I ended up having to create my own work around this crashing bug.
The problem with my situation was that the reviewers had already made their comments in InCopy and it wasn't until I tried opening the .indd file and updating the stories that we received the crash... every time.
My workaround - if the reviewers had made their comments in InCopy, hopefully with track changes enabled, in order to see their comments I did the following:
I opened the .indd file in InDesign CS5.5 (version 7.5.2). DO NOT UPDATE the document with the ICML stories. Instead I unlinked the .icml stories from the main document. I then opened the .icml files in InCopy 5.5. I was able to see the edits that were made by my reviewers and copy and paste them between InCopy and InDesign at that point.
I know, I know. This is totally a crazy thing to need to do when we have such a powerful tool (InDesign and InCopy). It comes down to, you must do what you must do to get the job done. I truly had no other option presented at the time. The project had to complete and the reviewers were not HAPPY to even think about reviewing the content again via PDF shared review.
The best advice I received from other forum users when I proposed the crashing issue was that it could be because of anchored objects being deleted or moved by an InCopy editor. Because InCopy is strictly a text editing tool, there may be an issue that causes InDesign to get frustrated when an edit moves or deletes an anchored object or frame. I had lots of anchored object, interactive objects, etc. in my document. To track down whether an anchored object moved or was deleted by a user was unsurmountable... my workaround, while painful, at least got the job done this time.
Any future projects will be moved back to CS4. That version atleast works with InCopy stories and Interactivity. I am sure one day this will be resolved... just wonder when.

Help for PowerPoint 2007 crash when running embedded SWF file with latest Flash Player?

I have developed in Xcelsius 2008 SP4 a dashboard with only Excel as the source. I output to PowerPoint and then save it as a PowerPoint 2003 PPS file. On more than a few machines that have PowerPoint 2007, PowerPoint crashes when I attempt to run the presentation. This happens only with later versions of Flash Player. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the latest Flash Player but it still crashes. However, when I revert back to Flash Player 10.1.159..., in PP 2007 the presentation runs perfectly.
With regard to the error I receive in PowerPoint 2007, it is as follows:
Error Signature:
AppName: powerpnt.exe AppVer: 12.0.6500.5000 AppStamp:49a68f9d
ModName: flash10u.ocx ModVer: 10.3.181.34 ModStamp:4e011a1d
fDebug: 0 Offset: 003a893c
Of note is that this behavior does not happen in PowerPoint 2003 nor does it happen when the file is saved as a SWF and launched directly in the browser on the problem machines.
I have to assume that this has happened to others so any help you could provide would be VERY appreciated.
Thank you

Hello,
on the first glance I see these: data="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/user/Documents/Website/Working.swf", what means the path to your swf file is pointing to your local hard drive which nobody can see except you. Please replace all thes pathes with the correct ones and load up your file(s) again.
If the problem remains, please send a link to your website in question, no matter how it looks like..

InDesign crashing when updating associated InCopy files

We just upgraded to CS6 and Creative Cloud. When graphic designers are using InDesign and writers update the affiliated InCopy files, when the designers hit the Update button to pull in the updates, it crashes InDesign. Here is Pastebin link of a recent crash log.
http://pastebin.com/Luc13HET
Designers are using Macs, writers are using PCs, we use DropBox to share the files, and re-placing the files seems to be ok, just not using the actual Update button. We've tried a ton of potential fixes, including resetting preferences, placing the file on to a new document, saving as IDML, exporting InCopy links separately.
Anyone know of any fixes?

This is the same for our department and the workflow sounds very similar except we are using Stand alone installs and not creative cloud with both design and editoiral using PCs.
We have really experienced the problems when using previously designed templates from CS4 and are now having to go through systematcally and redo these from the ground up which seems to fix most but not all and is really annoying. Adobe of yet have not released a fix for this even thou there have been quite a few pastbin reports sent to them.
CS6 using Indesign and Incopy is a real disappointment considering all the excellent features under the hood.
See a long post here it might help

InDesign crashes when placing text

Hello.
InDesign crashes when I try to place text from a .txt-file or an Open Office document. I'm using Creative Cloud trial version and Windows 8.1. Crash log states the fault to TEXT.RPLN
Thanks in advance.

Does this happen on a all documents, documents already created and also on new documents? If so
Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences
If it's just on the one document

InDesign crashes when syncing book with Hyperlinks in master

Hi,
I seem to have an issue with InDesign crashing when trying to sync a Book (INDB file) with page links (Hyperlinks) in the Master.
Ref. Hyperlink panel > Edit Hyperlink > Link To: Page
I've narrowed the crashing issue down to InDesign only crashing when the Style Source (containing the master with page links), tries to sync with another doc in the Book that uses the master in the Pages panel. Thus I do not get a crashing error if the doc does not contain the master in the Pages panel.
For the pages that did not contain the master on the Pages panel I noticed that the Hyperlinks were labelled differently from the Style Source (ex. "hyperlink 1" from the Style Source would be "hyperlink 2" in the first document synced with it (assuming only one hyperlink present).
If I remove the Hyperlinks (page links) from the master, the error no longer occurs for any of the pages.
I put the links on the Page as opposed to the Master to test functionality and they work as expected. Although part of the reason for having the Master is these links appear exactly the same across multiple pages in the Book.
I've tried to export all my pages as IDML files then re-save them as INDD files to no avail. Did the same to all the files as well with "Save As" which didn't do anything either. I then installed the latest patch I could find: Application Version 7.0.4.553 (See all InDesign Patches), which also did not work.
Not sure if this is a bug or if what I'm trying to accomplish should be done differently.
The links in the Master need to link to the first page of select docs in the Book. Similar functionality to how a rendered table of contents would behave.
Ref. Layout > Table of Contents...

I had the same problem, and it turns out that the problem is having the same file into different folders. For example I had an MP4 in iTunes, and the same file in the photos folder that was being updated to the iPad. So I just removed one file and it syncs perfectly.

InDesign crashes when printing

Using InDesignCS2 4.0 on a MacBookPro OS 10.6.8.
InDesign crashes when I hit "print" on all documents, so it looks like it's not corrupt data in the document. As a workaround, I can export to a pdf and print, but now need to add printer's marks, which can only be done through "print."
I've re-installed the program from the original disk.
Thoughts?
-- Jerry Monaghan

Is this an installation on a computer you've just acquired? Or did it work before on this particular computer?
There is a mismatch between your InDesign version which came out in May 2005, and Mac OS X 10.6, which came out in 2009. InDesign CS2 was designed for a much earlier version of Mac OS X 10.2.8 to 10.3.8. Apple often makes OS changes which makes features in much earlier software versions not work.
You're lucky to have a workaround to be able to print via PDF files.

Indesign crashes when I try and open my document

I created a file in Indesign which represents many days of work.
It crashed indesign when I was pdf'ing the document and now it crashes indesign every time I try to open it.
It is my only version.
I have tried many ways to open it but nothing has worked - can you help?
I've just realised that now - Indesign crashes when I try and open any document!
Thanks very much
NB Someone suggested I send it to Adobe and they may be able to fix it, but I can't find a contact email to send it to.

You need to empty the InDesign Recovery folder (which is hidden in your user profile/library). You can find the path to InDesign SavedData in this link: Replace Your Preferences and the recovery folder should be in the same folder with the InDesign SavedData file.
Once the recovery folder is empty you should be able to launch ID, then try opening the file. If it wasn't damaged while writing it back to disk it will be fine, in the last previously saved state.

Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other

InDesign crashes when scrolling/editing a corrupted page with a broken link.

Just sharing a problem I had and how I solved it (with help from adobe tech support-thanks!).
Indesign CC running on a Mac OSX 10.9.2
PROBLEM:
InDesign crashed when ever I reached a certain page in a large document I was working on. On that page was a link to an illustrator file. Somehow this file must have been corrupted, but there was no chance to edit or delete this link/page as the program crashed instantly when ever I tried to manipulated that specific page.
SOLUTION:
I opened a new, empty document; opened the broken file and moved all pages to the new document: LAYOUT/PAGES/MOVE PAGES; select Move Pages "ALL"; Move to: "Select the new document"; click OK. I went back to the new file with the moved pages saved it and deleted the corrupted link on that page which I could now edit again. Problem solved!
Hope this is helpful for anyone who experience the same problem.

Indesign crashes when picking swatches

hi, Im working in indesign cs3 (updated to latest) on tiger 10.4.11 I have been working on this book on and off since April, but last week i noticed indesign crashing when color swatches are picked from the swatches palette. This especially happens when working within master pages, but it has also happened when not in the masters. I have deleted the fonts file in the cache, I have also trashed the preferences, and it still happens. Has anyone come across the same phenom? If so what is the fix?
For now I'm avooiding the swatches palette, its a pain in the butt especially working on a long document. Any tips are appreciated.

hi Larry. I dont mind trying that, the only thing is I'm working off the book palette, with about 12 chapters in it so far. I've only been working with 4 of the 12 so far, so not sure how to export the whole book as inx. Or may be just export them one at a time
