InDesign v 8.0.1 crashing when I try to package or pdf

I am recently upgraded to InDesign version 8.0.1, running on a Macbook Air with Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I opened a file I created in InDesign CS3. It opened fine, no issues at all except having to relink a few things and resolve some font conflicts. However if I try to package or pdf the document (64 page booklet) it immediately crashes. So it does not even start processing the pdf or the package, just immediately crashes. I tried pdfing just a few pages at a time, same exact reaction. Please help- open to any and all suggestions!!

You can try exporting the file from CS6 to .idml and open that and resave with a new name. DO NOT OVERWRITE the file you have now (in fact if you've already overwritten the CS3 version you can no longer use the .inx trick). This is not as effective as exporting the original, but it might work.
You can also try moving the pages into a new document, or export the stories to ID tagged text and import them into a new document (you'll have to place all the graphics again, if there are any).

InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to place any PDF's

InDesign CC keeps crashing when I try to place any PDF's - I'm running it on windows 7.0
I've tried several different PDFs all with the same result
Any ideas?

This sounds like it might have been a problem with the selected import options (for example, setting a crop option for a crop box that isn't actually defined in the PDF). These options are "sticky" until changed, so when you have a problem like this it's a good idea to try again and show the import options.

Acrobat x pro crashes when I try to flatten a pdf after using typewriter to insert a date

acrobat x pro crashes when I try to flatten a pdf after using typewriter to insert a date.
Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there a fix?
I wanted to download the demo of acrobat XI but it says the previous version will be removed and deactivate the license. That sucks!

Yes it is up to date.
I can use the stamp tool and flatten it after with no problems, but the typewriter tool crashes it upon attempting to flatten.

FM 10: FM crashes when I try to Save as PDF

I have TCS 3.0 installed on Windows 7, and have been trying to gen a PDF. In FM 7 and 8, I would always do a "Print Setup", followed by a Print Book (both in the File menu). However, in FM 10, I have tried to gen a PDF using the "Save as PDF" option, and Frame crashes every time. But when I try the Print Setup and then Print Book method, I have no problem gen'ing a PDF. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a solution, or is this a bug in Frame 10 or Acrobat X?
Thanks for any enlightenment.

When I try to gen a PDF from a single chapter file, FM crashes. What is interesting is that I get slightly different dialog boxes when I use Save as PDF vs Print Book.
Save as PDF gives me this dialog, which has the options for "Generate PDF for review only" and "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB".
However, when I click File > Print Book > PDF Setup..., the dialog looks like this (see below). It does not have the 2 options that the prior dialog does.

Illustrator hangs or crashes when I try to save as PDF

I am using Illustrator to creates designs for a Flex app. My document has a lot of symbols, rasterized images and layers (it's about 8.1 MB).
Illustrator has stopped doing two things that I need it to do:
1) It just hangs (infinite beachball on OS X) when I try to Save As an "Acrobat Viewable" AI file.
2) It also hangs (or crashes on my PC) when I try to save as PDF, regardless of the options I choose.
I can Save or Save As as long as I don't include Acrobat support.
Any ideas on this? Thanks!

Started eliminating layers, one by one, and trying a PDF export.
It hung and hung and hung until I had deleted about 10 first level layers... then it hung for a bit and boom! It exported.
I went into the original doc and deleted the last layer I had removed from the test doc and it hung as usual.
My conclusion? No bad objects - just too many layers for Illustrator to handle in a timely manner. I've officially taxed the program, which was totally crashing it on my Windows machine.
Why so many layers? Since I am skinning a Flex app by exporting a .swf skin file from Illustrator, I have all of the app layouts in one .ai file. This consists of 46 first level layers, and hundreds of secondary and tertiary layers. It also includes a truckload of embedded graphics sprinkled throughout for layout purposes. Plus symbols.
It's just too much for Illustrator - a program not really designed for this workflow - to handle.
I don't want to make separate files for each site section as that'd require me to port the symbols back and forth all the time when I make a simple change, like a button style adjustment.
Any other advice on managing this better is appreciated, but nothing jumps out as an easy and scalable solution.
Thanks for the help, especially jean.

InDesign CS6 saves file, but crashes when I try to open this file

Hi,
I am having a huge problem with Indesign since yesterday. It worked fine before.
I use Adobe Creative Suite CS6.
Since yesterday, I have problems with files that I just saved. I can open older files (from before yesterday), but I cannot open any file that I saved recently. Indesign crashes every time I open the file (the file is visible, but right before all the palettes are loaded, Indesign closes down).
I already saved several files (under different file names) since yesterday, the problem stays the same.
I already uninstalled and re-installed CS6, it didn't solve the problem.
This is quite a nightmare. I am thankful for every effort to help!
All other programs in the Creative Suite work fine!

It is puzzling indeed. And quite a desaster for me, since I have a deadline to meet.
No changes, no new installations (not known, maybe updates in the background??).
InDesign started crashing in the middle of the workprocess. Since then the problem persists.
When I open an old file and start working on it, InDesign also crashes after a while during the workprocess.
So I can't work, I can't save files ... booo!
This happened with an update of a document that I work on all the time, a monthly magazine.
Maybe it is a Windows problem, although it is strange that all other programs work fine. (I use Windows XP)

Indesign CS6 keeps crashing when I try and export to pdf

Please post the entire crash report on pastebin.com and put a link here. No guarantees, but we're a lot more likely to find an answer if we see the whole report.
What have you tried, if anything to resolve the problem?

Indesign CC crashing when I try to place a PDF.

I just installed CC day before yesterday. Today is the first issue I have had. It doesn't seem to have any issues placing JPEGs or EPS files, but it does not like PDFs. Anyone else experience this and know what could be causing it?
Thanks!

If ID is now crashing as it starts up, the recovery data is corrupt and you'll need to empty the InDesign Recovery folder. And if cropping to media is not working, either the .indd file is damaged, the PDF is damaged, or the apllication prefs are damaged.
See if you are able to get the document to open again, then try to place some other PDF. If it crashes again, try creating a new user account an log in with that and see if you can place a PDF. Let us know what's happening.
Interesting....must have been the .indd file that was damaged or the app. prefs. I had tried placing PDFs I knew were good and it still crashed. I didn't figure the document was damaged because it was a brand new document. However, after clearing the Recovery and creating a new document, it placed fine. A little confusing, haha!

Re-install of CS2 - Indesign crashes when I try to make a PDF

I had upgraded to snow leopard & bought CS5. Which wouldn't work on my computer. I had to re-install CS2 & now I can't create any PDFs. The program quits unexpectedly. Any suggestions???
Thanks,
Diana DePasquale

I can't forget CS2, because I returned CS5. Adobe couldn't help me any
further & Apple said it was not their problem & they did everything they
could. Thanks for you help.
CS5 worked on a new user account, but Indesign & Illustrator wouldn't load
on my user account.

InDesign crashes when I try to make a PDF or idml

I'm using 7.5.1 and trying to save to pdf and every time it crashes. I can't even export to idml. Any suggestions?

Is it just this file? if so, probably a bad font or a bad link.
Try exporting half at a time. If one half works and the other doesn't, divide the bad half again until you isolate a page, then remove objects the same way until you isolate the problem.
If you can export both halves successfully, it probably is a system resources problem -- it happens -- and you should combine the two halves in Acrobat.

Program crashes when I try to export to pdf file using CR for VS2010

I'm using VS2010, framework 4.0. I can view, print, and export the report to excel. When I click export, select pdf, enter a file name, and click save...I get the following message:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: window
I added Ludek's code to limit exports to pdf and excel to my JPTreportView.xaml.vb file:
Public Class JPTReportView
        Private Sub UserControl_Loaded(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Loaded
            reportViewer.ViewerCore.ReportSource = Me.DataContext.ReportSource
            reportViewer.ViewerCore.ToggleGroupTree = False
            reportViewer.ViewerCore.ToggleParameterPanel = False
            reportViewer.ViewerCore.ToggleSidePanel = False
            Dim exportFlags = (CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.PdfFormat Or CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelFormat)
            reportViewer.ViewerCore.AllowedExportFormats = exportFlags
        End Sub
    End Class

My parameters are set in the code and are set to "Do not show" in the report. The pdf export did not work before I added the code to limit the export options. The code in JptReportView.xaml:

Please Help! InCopy crashes when I try to export...

Please help me!
InCopy crashes when I try to export to PDF. The file I'm working in was originally an InDesign CS3 file that was converted to InDesign CS4 when we upgraded our software. We've run into some BIG PROBLEMS with CS4, and so we've exported our CS4 InDesign files as CS3 .INX files so we can work on them in InDesign CS3.
I've isolated that the problem is only when I try to export pages that have a large ad that goes through the gutter of the newspaper spread. All other pages PDF fine from InCopy CS3.
I opened an old CS3 file (that was never converted to CS4), and double checked that I can still export the whole file to PDF including the pages that have ads going through the gutter.
Is this a bug with CS4 files? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the problem? NOTE: I already tried splitting the box for the ad into 2 separate boxes (one on each page), but InCopy still crashes when I try to export either one of the pages that has content through the gutter.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I've moved your question to the Adobe ExportPDF forum for that service.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
or the link to directly download this 1.09GB combo updater:
