InDesign CS5.5 crashes when deleting empty pages. Help!

Hello all,
I'm having an issue with InDesign CS5.5 running on 10.7.5. I have two empty spreads that I need to delete but everytime I try to, it prompts:
"The affected pages contain objects. Delete the pages anyway?"
I click Okay and InDesign crashes all the time. There are no objects on the page, I've applied no master, unhid and unlocked everything and can't figure it out! Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance!
Eddie

Hi Peter!
Thanks for the speedy reply! I exported my "corrupt" InDesign file to .IDML and re-openned it. I was able to delete the extra pages which had some .psd files on it that I couldn't see earlier.
My question is can I just re-save this .IDML file back as a .indd file? What changes happen in between .IDML and .INDD if any? Everything looks the same to me but I was wondering if anything changed. Thanks!

Indesign CS5 keeps crashing when deleting pages

Hi folks,
I'm working in CS5 Indesign on a long document (on a deadline) and trying to delete pages from the pages panel when it just crashes.
I am working on an Apple Macbook with OS 10.74 and my Indesign is updated to 7.0.4.
I have been using Indesign all week with no problems and then just an hour ago it starts to crash?
I don't get any blank warning boxes it just shuts down.
Any ideas would greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I had this problem occur also in CS5. I could only insert one page at a time, if I tried to insert any more than that Indesign crashed.
The document I was working on had two separate Master Pages, Master-A (a 2 page spread) and Master-B (Single page). I found that by deleting the Master-B the problem was solved, I could insert as many pages as needed.
Hope this helps.

InDesign CS5.5 Crashes When I Add Pages at Beginning of Document. Is There a Fix?

I am working on a long InDesign document using CS5.5 on a Mac. Every time I try to add pages at the beginning of the document, the document crashes and the program shuts down. This happens whether I add pages manually through the insert or add pages command or if I drag pages from another ID document. Is there any fix to this?

You can also try creating a new document - using the same page size, margins, master pages etc.
Then use the Pages Panel and move the pages to the new document.
You'll need both documents open.

Indesign CS5.5 Crashes when exporting an Interactive PDF

My InDesign CS5.5 continues to crash when trying to export an Interactive PDF.
It begins to come up with a box titled WARNING but it all closes and i don't even see the error message.
Will it work if I deactivate and reactive? will that work by any chance?
Its really frustrating.
Yasmine.

Please upload the crash report to http://pastebin.com and post a link here.
I saw the "Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences" thread but am confused as to what I need to delete vs. rename or move.
It's teh same as the vulcan nerve pinch you tried -- I assume InDesign prompted you to delete preferences and you said OK.
What happens if you create a new document and Pages (panel) > Move Pages pages 1-83 to the new document, and then recreate 84 and 85 by hand? Does it work? Presumably this is document corruption of some sort.

InDesign CS5.5 - Crashes When Packaging

Using: InDesign CS5.5, 7.5.2
On: Mac OSX 10.6.8
When trying to package certain of our jobs, InDesign will momentarily hangup during font or link collection before crashing completely. Initially, this was only happening on large multiple-page, image-heavy files, but now even small files, with only one or two pages and a handful of images are failing. I have read through other discussions on similar issues and have tried their fixes (i.e. turning off live preflight, disabling non-system fonts), but the results are still the same. Packaging has become a necessary portion of our workflow if only for image-gathering prior to archiving and this issue is really becoming a problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the Adobe Crash Data here if it helps in diagnoising the root cause: http://pastebin.com/dJuV53Ja
Thanks!

I have to say, it's so awesome that so many people are posting their crash reports in 2012, without having to be asked for them! It sure makes it easier to help, at least theoretically.
I have read through other discussions on similar issues and have tried their fixes (i.e. turning off live preflight, disabling non-system fonts), but the results are still the same.
Have you tried exporting to IDML? Do you have any third-party extensions?
Packaging has become a necessary portion of our workflow if only for image-gathering prior to archiving and this issue is really becoming a problem.
If it is only for image-gathering, you can use use Links (panel menu) > Utilities > Copy Links, see http://indesignsecrets.com/copy-all-your-linked-images.php for a discussion. Probably an adequate workaround.

Well, this is rather atypical:

It would appear that the crash is entirely in Apple's code, in a thread Apple created, i.e. very much "not InDesign's fault." But looks can be deceiving.
Anyhow, the implication is that there's something wrong with one of the links in a weird way. Network filesystem?

Fundamentally, we can see from frame #15 that the AdobeAFL library has been invoked to copy a file, and then Apple's file copying code is running along and somehow ultimately crashing.
Still doesn't tell us why. It vaguely reminds me of a crash someone was having a few months ago when they rightclicked on an image object. Turned out that when InDesign was building the "Edit With" menu, to show all applications that could open a particular file, some ancient (Rosetta-enabled PPC app?) program was gumming up the works and making the process of enumerating applications break. Which translated into an inability to rightclick.
While I'm not suggesting you should necessarily go through and trash any ancient applications in your Applications/ folder (just moving them is probably not sufficient either. I guess you could create a DMG and put them on the DMG and unmount it), that might be vaguely related. Hopefully not.
Anyhow, I suspect htis is a problem with a single link. Can you narrow it down to one?

InDesign CS5.5 crashes when trying to open ANY CS5.5 document

I am using InDesign CS5.5 and can't open any of my InDesign CS5.5 documents. The message "InDesign has stopped working" appears.
Even when trying to create a new document, again the message "Adobe InDesign CS5.5 has stopped working" - close programme.
InDesign was working perfectly on Friday. Saved and exported a file to pdf, all okay.
Are you able to help.

Hi Peter
I uninstalled the whole CS5.5, downloaded and ran the cleaning thing, reinstalled the whole suite but it came up with the message that the install had errors … every other module worked except Indesign which still did the same thing .. it would open, but not an existing or new doc … below is the error log
Did everything again.. same result
did it again but this time also deleted every folder with reference to 5.5 and cleaned the registry .. same result
finally, I did it all again, but this time did NOT install Fireworks (because of the error log below), 32bit Photoshop, Flash or the Apple support thingy .. and it now works !!
so it seems there is a problem with one or more of the above … was there an update around 24-26 May ??
Interestingly there's no icon against the Indesign program menu listing (but it still works) but the icon is still shown against all the 'indd' files
We rang support about 4 hours ago, they couldn't help but were going to look into it and get back to us 'within the hour' … needless to say they didn’t .. hope this 'work around' goes onto the blog and helps others
regards
Bruce

InDesign CS5.5 crashes when trying to open or create files on Yosemite

Hi,
I've just recently migrated to a new iMac running Yosemite. Photoshop CS5.1, Illustrator 5.1 and Bridge 5.1 are working fine but I'm having major issues with InDesign CS5.5. Every time I try to open an existing file or create a new one the programme freezes and I have to force quit.
I've trawled the forums and have done everything mentioned including uninstalling/reinstalling, removing temporary cache files and preferences, removing Data Store, deleting the Adobe font list, and removing the SING component.
I ran Activity Monitor and have uploaded the details to Sample of InDesign - Pastebin.com and the Crash Report to http://pastebin.com/KdEEWadj
Please help, I'm getting desperate!
Thanks,
Dan

CS5.x is not compatible to Yosemite. It may or may not run, if it does never without problems.
Adobe applications should never be installed via migration. It is always making problems in the long run. If you have done so, deinstall them immediately, run Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool (available on Adobe's Website) and install any application from it original installer.
I recommend to upgrade to a CC subscription. CS6 might also work, but it is now very old and 2 to 3 versions after CS6 have been released. If you get a new system upgrade it is NOT guaranteed that it will work as CS6 is now at the end if not out of its product life cycle.

InDesign Cs5 keep crashing when open this file

Hi guys,
I am back for another problem with my InDesign. It's been a while since my last problem...
Right now I'm facing a new problem and I hope you guys can fix this with me..
So the problem is that just on this file.. Everytime I try to open it, it just crash. But it is fine when I open other files. Yesterday it was fine when I export as PDF, and even package the file. This morning when I tried to open it, it just crash...
The solutions I tried :
Troubleshooting 101: Export to .idml or .inx to clear file corruption
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526991
(I cannot open the file because it says that the file is missing or in any other place..)
Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2404821#2404821
and none of that works.
I even tried save As. Still not working..

Should I just leave it as it is and try again tomorrow? Maybe it'll work?? :/
I forgot to do back ups yesterday because I don't bring my external HD. And now I regret it
Please help?
Thank you!
Have a nice day!

Hi Peter,
I was trying to export it as .idml and the program crash, so maybe it says file cannot be open because missing maybe because it wasn't finish to export and got crash. Maybe that is why I can't open it.
well the thing is that my work InDesign Cs5 is bootleg (boo! i know )
and i was once told not to update them. so i never update until now..
unless you have a thread where i can read the manual how to update bootleg?
Thanks Peter!

InDesign CS5.5 crashes when generating index

Hello everyone. I have been working on a 232 page catalog and have been indexing as I've went along. The catalog itself (232 pages) is a book file. When I generated the index before it seemed to take a long time, but it always got through it and had no problems. One day, randomly, it decided it wasn't going to work anymore and crashes when I re-generate the index.
I have tried to add documents at sections at a time to see if it might be a particular file, but my tests have all been inconclusive. I have the catalog separated into 8 sections (32 pages each) I added 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 generating the index after each addition. I got to section five and it was still okay. When I added section 6 it crashed. I tried generating section 6 by itself and it was fine. Then I generated sections 1-5, and 7 together and it still crashed! I've done every possible combination of index generating and I'm getting desparate. I really do not want to have all my indexing work on the entire back section of the catalog to be wasted.
Is anyone having a similar problem? If I could get it narrowed down to one section, it would help greatly. I do have x refs in my documents but they are all contained within section 4 (which had no problems generating).
I'm assuming the problem lies within section 6 or 7, but I generated them together by themselves and the index generated without a problem.

My InDesign crashed a couple of months for no apparent reason and, whenever I tried to resume the same activity as I was doing when it crashed, it crashed again! I wasn't creating an index but adding photos. Bascially, what I had to do was copy and paste all of my data into a new document. That worked. It was a pain, because I had to copy the master pages, style sheets, blah, blah but it worked. I think what happens is that files get corrupted if they keep crashing. You're better off just grabbing the data and creating a new doc. A pain, I know but....
Good luck! I am just now getting into Indexes, btw.

Indesign CS5.5 crashing when opening files even idml

I've been working with files created by another user. I have exported to idml file then saved as indd. It still is crashing. I've installed the lastest updates and according the crash report http://pastebin.com/5SVUfNsU it's saying something about plugins... unfortunately I have now idea about plugins. I've tried to reset preferences and can't find any folders mentioned from another report (common crash issues)
It has also crashed when tryin to export either idml or indd files to pdf.
I'm not an "avid" used of indesign. I'm just learning so I really need some guidance.

kestabrooks wrote:
I replaced the plug in. did an update and replaced the font. It seems to be working now. So basically (I think) that it was because I was copying a page from one document that had a different type of font into another document. It that a correct assumption?
Not necessarily. Font TYPE should not be an issue, but corrupt or badly made fonts can be a problem.
The optical kerning may be paer of a style definition, or it could be applied locally. For a style, you can edit the style to change the kerning method (or, if it's a character style that does nothing more than set optical kerning, remove the style). If it's applied locally you can use Find/Change to remove it. In the GREP tab search for .+ and open the Find Formatting dialog. Under Basic Character Formats set the kerning dropdown to Optical. Leave the change field blank, but open the Change Formatting dialog and in the same dropdown set the kerning to metrics.
Optical kerning is meant primarily for use with glyph pairs form diffent fonts or font styles to try to make them look better spaced. It really isn't a substitute for the built-in kerning in a font.

InDesign CS5.5 crashes when uploading a book to blurb via the Blurb plugin

I am trying to upload a book from InDesgin CS5.5 to Blurb via the Blurb plugin. Whenever I do the preflight starts as it should and gets about 2/3 of the way through before InDesign closes and I get an error message coming up saying that InDesign has closes unexpectedly.
I spoke to Blurb and they suggested exporting the book as a pdf with their pdf export settings. This worked fine for the book cover but with the pages of the book the same thing happened as when trying to upload it directly to Blurb. When I try to export it as a pdf with my own export settings it works fine, its just the blurb preset that seems to be an issue.
When I mentioned this to blurb they said it must be a problem on Adobes end not theirs.
Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
My system is a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and the error message I get is attached below:

Thanks for the suggestion. I've done that but it still crashed at the same place with the same error message:

InDesign CS5.5 crashing when opening some files

I have been trying solutions posted for a week and haven't found one that works. Would appreciate any help anyone has.
A single page InDesign file will makes it to the window where it is attempting to load fonts, then crashes. However, file will open on a different comuter running same software, same versions and updates.
I removed all fonts from the document and it will open, which seems to point to a font problem. Odd thing is, other documents can be opened that are using the same fonts.
Have tried:
Upgrading to os 10.8
Running ID icons update
Removing and re-installing fonts
Removing and re-installing font manager software (font agent pro v4)
Restarting InDesign and trashing prefs
Running smasher
Running font nuke
Reparing permissions on computer
Removing SING files
And probably a few other things
This issue is affecting some but not all computers in a 30 computer environment.
All computers are on the same os version (10.7.4) , same InDesign version (5.5), some are using Font Agent 4 and some are on 5.
I have posted the crash report on pastebin.com, user bpozna, title indesign quit unexpectedly.
Would appreciate any help. Let me know if you need any additional info.
