Indesign crashes when updating a linked document
This is a reproducible crash.
I have a indd file, several pages long with other embedded / placed indd documents inside.
When a linked file in the original documents has been changed, I naturally get a notice in the "links" tab. So far so good.
When I right-click and select "Edit original", the original document opens up and I get the usual notice if I like to update the changed link.
I select yes and save the document and close it to get back to doc I started with and then Indesign crashes.
Can this be fixed? It's extremely annoying.
Tia.
Sphynx25 I have the exact problem and have been dealing with it for a couple years now, it's incredibly annoying. I wonder if there's some preference that would eliminate the document from automatically checking the links?? Seems this is what causes the crashes. I fiddled with what I could find in the preferences to no avail.
If you figure this one out please let me know, I'll do the same.

InDesign crashes when updating image links
InDesign has crashed a few other times with the same error details I have below, but the easiest way to replicate it over and over is when I try to re-link images.
The module that keeps crashing is "TEXT.RPLN"
I thought it was a font at first, but have run Adobe's font validator and everything said it was fine.
I have replaced the "InDesign Defaults" and "InDesign SavedData" files and that didn't help either.
Any other thoughts on why InDesign could be crashing?
It is becoming hard to get anything done, and I am thinking that I may just have to completely uninstall and then reinstall...

Report Id: c87cdb4a-455e-11e3-8205-0026833b2b0bI did already replace the preference files.
It was actually happening on multiple InDesign installs on separate computers so I don't think it could have been preference related.
However, crossing my fingers, I think it is fixed now...
I created a copy of the original document and exported the .INDD document as a .IDML and re-opened/saved it as a new version. By doing this, everything appears to be working now. Don't know if it is just coincidence or if something in that process really fixed something. I guess only time will tell. -
Indesign crashes when updating incopy assignments!
Hi,
I've read through some forums and it appears others are having this problem.
When I open indesign and it says do you want to update links (referring to the incopy assignements) that need updated.
I click ok, and Indesign crashes!!!!
One thing I read could be the issue....
- anchored objects, (incopy can't handle all the anchored objects)
That is RIDICULOUS if that is the issue. If so, Adobe should have had a disclaimer....don't buy incopy if you plan on having more than text in your document.
There are no error messages that come up, the program just crashes. I'm using Indesign CS5 version 7.
A solution I read was to save the indesign file that keeps crashing when updating the assignments as an .idml file.
I tried this and it appeared to work, but what a joke!
This is very unreliable and has caused a lot of stress.
Anyone else have any solutions or can ADOBE come up with a solution???
ThanksFirst question is are you fully patched to 7.0.4? If not, download and install that patch.
Second: Do you have Suitcase Fusion 3 installed? If so, try disabling the autoactivation plugin.

Indesign crashes when updating incopy content
I'm having a lot of bother with (Mac) Indesign CS6 crashing when updating Incopy content. The problem first appeared after upgrading from CS4 to CS6 on OSX 10.6.8.
I've since upgraded to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and the problem still persists (with fully updated InDesign 8.01 and Incopy).
Incopy is Windows version if that has any bearing on the issue.
The crash occurs when opening an Indesign document with Incopy content that has been edited. I can open the document if I choose not to update content, but ID will subsequently crash if I choose to manually update the content from the assignments dialog. This doesn't happen with all my documents - perhaps about 1 in 4 with Incopy assignments.
I can place the ICML files in a new Indesign document without incedent. In other words the ICML files don't appear to be corrupt.
Suggestions anyone?
IanI got another crash. This time just on trying to launch inDesign.
Below is the report. If anyone can help it would be very appreciated.

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.

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. -
InDesign crashing when working on a document
Hi all,
I am using CS6 and Windows 7. I have used Photoshop for a while with no problem but am just starting to use InDesign and it keeps crashing. I can insert images and text and save a document but crashes occur when working on a document - most often when using the selection tool =
I get these two messages during startup so are these relevant to the crashing or any other ideas please?@ Michael Witherell thanks for your reply. My InDesign is up to date in Help / Updates (if that is what you mean by the patch) and yes I have reset the preferences but the problem is the same - touching the select tool is enough to cause a crash. While searching on InDesign crashing I saw a suggestion to create a new user in Windows. I don't want to speak too soon but this seems to fix the problem - with my regular Windows user (in which I do everything inlcluding CS6 Photoshop) and with no other programs running, using the select tool (for example) immediately causes InDesign to crash but with the new user it seems so far that I can use the select tool - move stuff around - with no crashing so far. Does that give any clue to what the problem is?
Thanks... -
InDesign crash when updated from InCopy
From 2007 to last week I have never had any issues with InDesign and InCopy. LOVE the way they work together.
Upgraded to CS6 two weeks ago... Put one set of papers out last week with some odd things happeing where InDesign would update an InCopy edit and they seconds later it would be out of date again.
Now this week all updates from InCopy crash InDesign.
This is driving me crazy. I have started replacing content with InCopy files just to have them show up out of date... and any update crashes InDeisgn.
I have no idea how I am going to get through this weeks paper.
Any help out there???
Thanks
Chris
Windows 7, one is brand new... all CS6 all fresh clean installs...OK... this is gettin worse.
Now I cant place a PDF.
I moved all files to my local computer, still haveing issues!
Completely unacceptable! -

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. -
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.Did you share in the program forum? InDesign

Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document wiht linked Visio file.
Acrobat X 10.02 crashes when converting Word 2007 document with linked Visio file and causes a C++ runtime error in Word and crashes Word.
To see the behavior create a short Word 2007 document with a linked Visio file (e.g., create a Visio file with one box and text and insert it as a link into a Word docx).
No problem in Acrobat 9There may be some of an issue with AA X on this, but part of the blame probably goes to MS also. I would suggest you simply clip the graphic from VISIO as a vector graphic (EMF will be used by default) and not do the link and do not embed the VISIO object. The linking and use of embedded objects in WORD 2007 seems to have been a major problem and is mostly a MS issue.

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.

Crash when updating site cache? MM_Username1?
Hi,
All of a sudden, tonight, DW8.0.2 will no longer open or load
one of my
sites, crashing when "Updating Site Cache". The site is ASP
linked to an SQL
database.
Checking the file that the cache gets to, I notice that the
problem file is
within a sub-directory of the site, called "/admin". Thing is
though, it's
not always the same file, but it IS always a file within the
/admin
sub-directory.
Within this sub-directory I altered, by hand, the Login User
code and
Restrict Access to Page code to create and use the session
variable
MM_Username1 as opposed to the default MM_Username.
Could this be the reason for the sudden trouble with the site
cache? I am
puzzled because the site was working fine for a few weeks
now, with this
sub-directory included, and I didn't create the MM_Username1
issue today
either, it has also been working fine for a good few weeks
now. I've also
not added anything new to the site, that I am aware of.
When I remove the sub-directory from the site, the Updating
Site Cache works
fine, so I am 100% sure there is a problem with the files
within this
sub-directory. How will I know which one though?
I've tried this, as recommended by Adobe, but I still get a
freeze-up when
re-creating the cache:
1. Try renaming the Dreamweaver user configuration folder, so
that
Dreamweaver will automatically generate a new user
configuration folder the
next time Dreamweaver launches. The Configuration folder is
located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration
2. Recreate your Dreamweaver user settings in the registry as
follows:
Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8
Rename the "Dreamweaver 8" key to "DreamweaverOLD", so that
Dreamweaver will
automatically generate a new user settings key the next time
you launch it.
3. Recreate your Dreamweaver site definitions in the registry
as follows.
The steps below will delete your site definitions in
Dreamweaver.
4. Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button,
choose Run, then
type "regedit". In the Registry Editor, navigate to this
folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Common\8\Sites
Rename the "Sites" key to "SitesOLD", so that Dreamweaver
will automatically
generate a new Sites key the next time you launch it.
Any further advice?
Regards
nath.Found it! Jeesh.
I had a querystring value in my UPDATE redirect URL which was
coded
incorrectly!!!
I am frustrated that, rather than just highlighting the error
or, at the
very least, producing an error when opening the specific
file, this type of
thing crashed the entire DW programme.
The time I spent in Notepad today changing MM_Username1 back
to
MM_Username!! Turns out that was nothing to do with it.
<groan> Yeah,
that's right, laugh it up! :o)
Anyway, solved now. A misplaced ", %, ), (, <, >, &
etc can cause you no
end of grief! :o(

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
