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
Troubleshooting 101: Export to .idml or .inx to clear file corruption

Indesign crashes when placing PDFs

All,
When placing PDFs in and Indesign file, it occasionally crashes. Usually when doing multiple pages, one at a time, some work and some crash.... although the ones that crash always crash and I cannot get them placed.
The goal is to put the PDFs in the file and add text and/or images over the PDF.
Solutions?
Power Book Pro OS 10.8.5
Indesign CS 6

Eugene,
Produced with IText 2.0.2 (by Iowagie.com), PDF version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)
However, some of the pages place just fine, and some crash every time. Suspect there's corruption on the crashing pages.
Is there a way I could save the file in a different format or program and open that into Indesign?

Indesign crashes when select Text tool

Hi,
Since this morning I've a problem with InDesign CC. Every time I try to select the Text tool, InDesign crash, even with new file.
During a period it was also impossible to only start InDesign. But I've clear my cache and it works again, but the text tool crash remain.

When I've tried to restart my mac with safe boot, it was OK but no in "normal" mode.
I've had a Keynote/Page and Numbers update this morning, I think it's possible there have have a link...
Thanks for your help, I don't know what doing !

BTW, there is a newer version of InDesign as well, InDesign CC2014. Since you’re running Mavericks it should be available to you.

did you found a solution for your problems?

Peter's correct that there is no way to downgrade short of an uninstall/reinstall.
I believe we're in a gray area discussing rapid releases on the public forum.
But let me say that I do not think you have any good reason to downgrade from 7.0.5.571 to 7.0.4.553 and that while you should certainly try it and see, because it might actually work, I would not put any money on it.
More significantly, you're running "+SmartCatalogCore v8.0.4 build 52" and Smart Catalog 8.0.5 is out. So I would upgrade first and then report the crash to Woodwing if it is reproducible.
I don't use SmartCatalog (but I do use SmartConnection), but I'd suggest you may get better support from Woodwing's forums or their actual support (or reseller support) than here. "But maybe not."

CS5 InDesign crashing when selecting text

I get this crash when I select text, and then select more text. It takes a usually 3–5 times, but it crashes. I've tried uninstalling fonts and I've tried with brand new documents using system fonts. Any suggestions?
http://pastebin.com/vucbJRbC

.. in which case I could run a cursory check. At the very least I will be able tell whether the file is physically damaged (missing parts of the file), or if it's internally damaged (a bad code in an otherwise good file).
Are you free to post the file somewhere? [Unfortunately, Adobe doesn't allow InDesign files to be shared through this forum ]

InDesign CC crashes when placing text

Hi, InDesign CC updated to latest version and noticed it crashes every time i try and place a text file onto the document. I have uninstalled and then used CC Cleaner, removing preferences and manually deleting the folder. Have tried this several times but with no success.
Here is a copy of the crash log: http://pastebin.com/icXisbfD

Thanks

Does this happen in one file, or in all files? If only one file, it could be corrupted. Export as IDML and reopen in InDesign.

In Design crashing when placing text

I'm creating a book of essays related to my workplace. I created a table of contents, preface page and placed the initial essay (all from Microsoft Word) with absolutely no problems. When I went to place the second essay on a subsequent page of the document, all of a sudden I received a message from the InDesign program that said, "Adobe InDesign CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program." I can place images with no problems and can do other things with InDesign but am at a loss at not being able to place a Word doc. I checked with our IT person and they weren't able to help. The project is due at the end of the month so I'm sweating it a little. Any thoughts? Thanks.

It could also be some settings within your paragraph formatting within Word that causes the text to kick to the next page (overset text) - such as having a long line of text for a hyperlink and having it not hyphenate and/or break. If a line of paragraph of text isn't allowed to break, it will try to fit in the next frame infinitely.
We work with a lot of files we have these types of issues with and, generally, it's related to a hyperlink or table that's setup too wide to fit on the page with the margins as they're setup or the hypenation setting is off. You can also trying placing by click-and-dragging wider than the page to help determine where the issue originates within the new text.
Sometimes it's just something you would never notice until this error occurs.

InDesign crashing when placing a word doc

I am trying to place a word doc into InDesign and it keeps crashing. Tried restarting. Tried breaking the doc into smaller part. Still not working.

The only time I had a similar situation with a word document, I had to save it as plain text and place that into Indesign. Nothing else worked. The downside is you lose any formatting but at least you won't have to type everything from scratch. Make a copy of your file and give it a try.

InDesign CC crashes when selecting text

Hello folks!
I have a serious issue here on my Windows 7 64bit notebook:
InDesign CC (and also CS6 before) keep crashing when selecting text.
I was still on CS6 when this failure appeared first. The strange thing is, it happens not always. When InDesign is opened new it will not crash instantly (most times). After some selecting random text a few times InDesign will crash with the well known "InDesign doesn't work anymore" message. There seems no pattern while selecting text (like special characters, certain fonts, whatever).
Tried to use CC – no luck! still crashing.
After some research in the forum I read, that this is very rare issue only occuring if there are more than 1 Windows accounts with both InDesign running. Indeed I made new account shortly before the first time this happened.
But sadly even after I completely wiped the second account, all my InDesigns (CS5, CS6, CC), all prefs, and also all fonts (as recommend in a thread with people havong trouble with just the type-tool itself) and all registry thingies the problem remains. Why?
Please help, it really kills the productivity.
Thanks in advance for everything!

Well, wonky extension seems like a good idea, but can be withdrawed because I haven't installed one.
The font issue is also equally probable. As already mentioned: The interesting aspect here is, that both InDesign CS6 and CC will crash. It happened the first time when Windows decided to blue screen and f*** up my account (I wasn't able to log in anymore, I had to made a new one). I once read in another thread that there is a problem occuring when having multiple Windows accounts with InDesign running. Re-installing InDesign didn't help. Font problem after all?
I have installed at the moment:
MainType
NexusFont
Typograf
and some small others, like: dp4 Font Viewer or FontViewOk

InDesign Crashes when exporting to InCopy

I support several hundred InDesign/ InCopy users. We have been using this workflow for several years.
Approximately a month ago, we migrated to CS5 (7.0.3). I began to immediately get support calls that InDesign and InCopy were crashing. A few of the calls were that InCopy was crashing when pasting text from MS Office, but he overwhelming majority of the calls are for InDesign crashing when exporting stories to InCopy. If exported one at a time, the stories export fine. When exporting all stories or an entire text layer of stories, it will crash nearly without fail.
Our environment consists of Mac Pro 2x2.66Ghz and 2.8Ghz Intel Core Duo 2 iMacs running 10.5.8. with CS5 7.0.3. This is happening on multiple machines. A few of them have been gone over to verify base OS integrity, permissions repaired, DiskWarrior run etc… to make sure we did not have individual machine issues.
I need resolution for both issues, but the crashing while exporting is so prevalent that my graphic designers are starting to really get aggravated.
I searched the forum for "InCopy", for "export" and for "crash." None of those terms returned a single hit. I can't imagine those terms are not in this forum, so I am working on the assumption that searching must be broken at the moment.
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
Kevin

Try posting on the InCopy forum. There was another similar report there...
Did you fill out a bug report?

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.
