Indesign Crashes when text selected

I see several others are having issues with InDesign CC crashing. Just downloaded it (OS 10.8.4, plenty of ram, etc.) and it crashes whenever the text tools is selected.
Unfortunately, I uninstalled the previous InDesign version, and now can't even see that as an option on Adobe. Would like to download the previous version again so I can keep working while this problem sorts itself out.

You can download CS6. Just log into your Creative Cloud account and go to https://creative.adobe.com/products/indesign Scroll down a little bit, and under the picture, under "In this version" you can change the version you want to download.

  • Indesign CC crashes when I select the rectangle frame tool??  Its a custom page, tabloid with guides set.

    My indesign crashes when I select the rectangle frame tool.  Does it matter if its a custom doc set as a tabloid and guide lines?  I have a project due and all I'm trying to do is add a picture I took.

  • 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 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

  • 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 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 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 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.

  • Plugin crashes when I select an adjustment layer in a layer parm

    If I drop my plugin on any layer and select an adjustment layer that is on top of the plugin's layer from the plugin's layer param, After Effects crashes. What gives? I'd love to paste some code here but it even happens when my plugin is doing nothing at all. I can comment out all of the render code and the plugin works UNTIL I select an adjustment layer as mentioned.
    Is this a problem with After Effects or is there a way I can fix this?
    Eidt: It seems native After Effects plugins also crash when I select an adjustment layer from a layer param, not just my own plugins.

    Exact same thing happening to me. Are you on CS6 as well?
