Re-threading text causes InDesign crash

What makes InDesign CS3 crash when I'm rethreading text? Does anyone know? I've asked this question before but have not gotten a response.
My fonts are in good shape. I'm still using Tiger, I have tons of RAM. So those things are not at issue.
Here's my workflow: I have a long text that's flowing in boxes, but I want to rethread it into a different set of box threads. The new set is already set up, empty text boxes in a template, threaded. So all I want to do is click on the out-port of the old boxes and click inside the empty new boxes and have the text pop in there. Pretty simple, no? BUT 90% of the time the minute I click on the new empty box, InDesign crashes. I'm trying to figure out what's making it do that because there's about 10% of the time when it doesn't crash.
Does it matter if the box into which the text is being threaded has any guides going across?
Does it matter what font and/or font size is specified in the new box? For example if the font size is way over what could fit into the box size, would that make InDesign crash?
Is something entirely different causing this behavior?
Any insight into this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

If you dont like linking text boxes - I don't like to link a lot as its time consuming! I use InDemand from www.mymacmac.com to flow in text. it has some sort of intuitive placement scheme that allows you to declare which text frames are live and then place, collect or clear their contents in human readable order.
Saved me - I hated having 48 linked product text boxes - this means i can move the text and images about the page to where I want and the box is treaded as if it was in a new link order.

Help in copying part of threaded text in InDesign CS5

When I copy part of a threaded text box that is linked to another text box in InDesign CS5 and then paste it to another location, the text from the first text box appears in the pasted version. The remaining text that was linked from the first text box to the second does not appear in the pasted new text box.

Nor should it. You only cpoied what you selected, and the new frame is not threaded to anything.

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.

[CS4/5][JS] Script causes InDesign to crash

Hello,
I'm having a bit of an issue with some InDesign scripting i'm working on, and wonder if anyone else has had the same issue.
I have a script that uses app.dialog to prompt for user information. It then takes the result of that dialog, and uses it in the script. Pretty standard so far, and if i run this from the scripts panel, or from ESTK, it works fine. If I set it up as a Script Menu Action, when I run the script via the menu, it executes, then crashes InDesign.
I have tried this with multiple dialog's, and each time a dialog is called from a SMA, InDesign crashes. The following code is fairly pointless, but will cause InDesign to crash when the SMA is run.
//failTest.jsx
//Test script will cause InDesign to crash when the SMA is invoked
//Daniel Cole
//Wed Jun 09 2010 13:26:47 GMT-0400
#targetengine "session"
//set up the SMA and eventListener
var saTest = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Test SMA");
var elTest = saTest.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", function()
          alert(testFunc());
//Check for the menu, and create it if it doesn't exist
try{
    var menuTest = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.item("Test");
    menuTest.title;
catch (e){
    var menuTest = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.add("Test");
menuTest.menuItems.add(saTest)
//test function
//creates a dialog box with a text edit box
//returns the content of the text edit box
function testFunc(){
     testDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Enter Text:", canCancel:true});
          with(testDialog){
               with(dialogColumns.add()){
                    var getTextField = textEditboxes.add({editContents: "Test Text", minWidth:250});
     testResult = testDialog.show()
     if(testResult == true){
          var testText = getTextField.editContents;
          testDialog.destroy();
          return testText;
     else{
          return "No Text Entered";
          myFileDialog.destroy();
I've tried this on CS4 and CS5, on multiple installs, and it crashes every time. Can anyone else replicate this? Is this a known issue? Is there any way to work around it?
thanks,

I don't know exactly why your code crashes ID in some versions, but there are potential issues in using:
- unneeded global variables in a function scope,
- the with statement,
- the "var menuTest" redeclaration in the try...catch,
- a generic #targetengine "session" directive,
- menu and menuAction creation procedure without preventing object duplication (beware of application/session persistence),
- the myFileDialog.destroy() instruction when myFileDialog is unknown (in your original code).
In order to isolate the "destroy" bug, I suggest you separate the process from the menu installer (see http://bit.ly/cIsZuG for more detail about menu management).
Here is a possible structure:
#targetengine "DanielColeTest"
// YOUR PROCESS
// Use clean local vars within the func
var testFunc = function()
     var dlg = app.dialogs.add({
          name:"Enter Text:",
          canCancel:true
     var textField = dlg.dialogColumns.add().textEditboxes.add({
          editContents: "Test Text",
          minWidth:250
     var r = (dlg.show())?
          textField.editContents:
          "No Text Entered - Marc";
     dlg.destroy();
     return r;
var testInvokeHandler = function(/*onInvoke*/)
     alert( testFunc() );
// YOUR MENU INSTALLER
// Encapsulate the routine to avoid duplication issues
// - a SMA is session-persistent
// - a menu is application-persistent
var testInstaller = testInstaller||(function()
     var smaTitle = "Test SMA",
          mnuTitle = "Test",
          subs = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus,
          sma, mnu;
     // 1. Create the script menu action
     sma = app.scriptMenuActions.add(smaTitle);
     // 2. Attach the onInvoke event handler
     sma.eventListeners.add("onInvoke",testInvokeHandler);
     // 3. Create and/or target the menu
     mnu = subs.item(mnuTitle);
     if( !mnu.isValid ) mnu = subs.add(mnuTitle);
     // 4. Create the menu item
     mnu.menuItems.add(sma);
     return true;
Hope it could help.

How do I fix problem causing Indesign to crash everytime I open it?

I have had InDesign CC 2014 installed on windows 8 computer for month but recently I cannot open it as evertytime it crashed saying 'windows has encountered a problem causing InDesign to stop working' I have tried everything I can think of...please help! (I have it through creative cloud and my other programmes are fine so I don't understand why it is just InDesign?)

What happened the last time it did work? Was there a crash? You might have bad recovery data that is causing it to crash again on restart.
See Replace Your Preferences for directions to the HIDDEN folders where your prefs are stored. The recovery folder is in the same location as the InDesign SavedData file. Empty it and try again.

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

JSX causing Indesign CC 2014 to Crash even when the execution is successful

Hi,
I have JSX which is executing successfull and returning a string value, but even after that indesign CC 2014 is getting crashed as soon as result is Returned from JSX.
has any one faced such issue ???
This issue is not there in Indesign CC 9.2 executing the same JSX.

Finally after a lot of debugging I found the issue.
In Indesign CC 2014, the handling for Hidden documents has been changed how it used to be for Indesign CC 9.2.
Now we can not run command doc.Close() on a hidden document. This is what was causing Indesign to Crash.
Also, app.documents no more contains the count of hidden documents. Only those documents are maintained for which layout is open.
Not sure if such major API changes have been mentioned as a part of API changes doc.

InDesign Crashing when exporting to PDF, can't decipher the cause

I created a document in InDesign CS6, and each time I try to export the document to a PDF (of any compression, smallest file size, print quality, etc) InDesign crashes. I have zero errors in my preflight and no extraneous fonts.
I have restarted both my computer and ID and it is not responding differently.
I copied the crash report: http://pastebin.com/UBaVKmph
Any suggestions of thing to try that I overlooked?
Thread 22 shows the crash, but I am not certain what it is inducating and how to solve it, any pointers?

First thing, install the CS6 8.0.2 patch.
The crashed thread looks like it made a couple of calls to a K2 plugin just before it quit. Not sure if that's a third-party automation plugin or something native (way back when, ID was codenamed K2, apparently).

InDesign crashes when editing text (branched)

Hello,
using the newest indesign version 752, i have the same problem as described: when i try to edit text, pasted in (from browser, word, etc.), indesign crashes. sometimes it happens, i get into the textbox ...but cannot edit the text ...seems to be locked?
did you found a solution for your problems?
regards
thomas

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."

Indesign crashes using text tool

I am using Indesign CS6 (8.0.1) with MacOS 10.8.2. Upon startup, Indesign gives me an error message saying (free translation from Swedish) something like "The resource file could not be opened". It then crashes as soon as I click the text tool. I have tried deleting the prefs, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Can anyone advise what might be wrong and what I should try to fix my issue? Thank you very much in advance, your help is much appreciated!

Yes.
Did you replace the prefs yet? If not, log in on the old user and do that. It may be enough. If not, see John's list of additional files to be deleted at Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup
Note that most or all of the files you need to work with will be hidden, so if you don't know how to find them already, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion

Feature Request: overflow text (threading text into another text box) as in InDesign

I would like to see overflow text (threading text into another text box) as in InDesign

Brilliant. Thanks for the reply. The file I'm using is the same one I've been using as a emplate for about 3 years now, but I've recently upgraded to Windows 8 and re-installed my copy of InDesign onto that, so I could have inadvertantly flicked one of these settings on during setup.
I'll look through the properties or something and see if I can find the language settings.
Thanks Steve, I appreciate your help. :-)

My documents causes indesign to crash

i have been working on multiple documents and now indesign crashes when it opens some of them.. what could be causing this, i have reinstalled but the problem persists.

I am guessing it is a font issue (especially if you are attempting to use PC fonts on a mac). I would take one of your corrupt documents and if you can open it for a minute, just enough time to change all of your fonts to something super standard like Trebuchet and save it as a copy/rename. then see if that one has any issues. If you cant even open them for long enoh to change the fonts, try temporarily removing the fonts (that you are using in these documents) from your system font folder (I like to temporarily place them in the trash so I know they are not accidentally being used anywhere. Maybe also do a find on your os to make sure those fonts are not hiding somewhere on your system. Then restart your mac and indesign and see if thats it.
If that is it, your fonts may be too old. I had this problem with fireworks except FW wouldnt even stay open for a second before it crashed. Adobe told me it was because I had old fonts. This was not cool because A) they are my companies coporate fonts and B) They didnt cause any other CS4 app to crash. I made a big stink (and was probably a pretty big jerk to the innocent tech support guy) that the app would crash rather than give me a message that those fonts are not compatible etc etc, They told me I would have to return cs4 and get cs3 just to see if that would be a fix. I responded hell no as that is way too much of a hassle for the few times I may use fireworks and my company just has too much red tape to get that done. So I just simply gave up on learning fireworks. Then, one day I saw a FW update/patch, installed it and it worked. Maybe I was the guy who helped get that issue fixed. Next time ill fill out a bug report rather than yelling at some poor guy that im going to sue adobe. lol
So if that is it, id make a bug report, If thats not it, i would try those documents on another computer/differnt versions of ID if possible. It also may be a photograph that is corrupt or possibly so large that your machine cant handle displaying it (16/32bit in pshop?). Or just see if you can replicate the crash one piece ata a time starting from a blank document. long answer yes, but i just like to hear myself type. hope that helps.

Damaged file causes InDesign to crash and I can not open it now?

I was working on a document and tried to use the eye dropper tool to select a color for a box I was going to use.
I accidentally clicked on a placed vector image box and the document closed and InDesign quit.
After doing some searching online, it was recommended to find the recovery file and delete it from my system, however, I can't find exactly where it is.
I wound up deleting several items from the cashe file, but that didn't work.
I did an "uninstall" of InDesign and then installed a new version. That did not work either.
Where I am now...I can open InDesign and create a new document, but every time I try to open either the damaged file or the previous year file (which should not be damaged), InDesign crashes.
i.e. - The file that crashed was the 2015 version of my document. I went to archived versions of that particular document (2014 and also 2013 versions) and they all crashed.
(The files were all named different, based on the year created).
Help!

Emptying the recovery folder makes sense to me....as far as the plugins, font manager, I'm not sure if that would be the problem.
Of course, at this point, I'm striking out. I don't know how or what to do about plugins...do you have specific directions?
Because of the deadline, I'm having to start over on my project. I think instead of building the pages in InDesign, I'll build in Photoshop and place the Photoshop files into InDesign.
I can't remember ever having this problem and I've used InDesign for many years. I am on the monthly plan and have the latest versions of everything.

Snow Leopard CS2 - InDesign crashes on print

Hello!
I am hoping some one can send me in the right direction in figuring this out. I have googled this problem until my fingers are sore and have yet to see anyone with this issue. I have gone through the many many documents about not being able to export to pdf and have followed all of those directions hoping that maybe there was some correlation - still nothing.
So what's happening is we open a standard document create either text or regular box then click file print and get the crash (Problem report from InDesign below)
we can print repeatedly with only a box on the page. sometimes it will allow us to view the print preset dialogue and some times it will almost allow us to create a new print preset.
it gets REALLY buggy when you click the text tool - some times as soon as you click the tool it crashes and sometimes when you click the page. The below Problem report from InDesign was from printing with text on the page.
This is a fresh install and software update to 10.6.5, fresh install of CS2 and I have not added any fonts, this also happened before the OS upgrade. Photoshop and Illustrator seem to work and do not even stutter when printing, This is only happening in InDesign. After trying to read through the badly labeled post on here I saw one almost similar post about a printing error and there was no help offered.
I have read many times that CS2 should not run with snow leopard and have seen just as many post that CS2 does run with snow leopard. If by chance you can please offer ANY advice or support it would be greatly appreciated! We are a fairly small publishing company and this software is our only option.

I can work in CS2 Indesign on my iMac running 10.6.5 with no clichés (so far), but like this thread, InDesign crashes and shuts down when attempting to print.
However, I have no problem making any type of pdf from InDesign, and my PDF's print without any problems. So, for now, I work in InDesign, and when I need to print, I make a PDF of my document and then print it. I know it's a pain, but for now, it's all I can do to keep using CS2.
I realize the solution is updating to a CS package that will run flawlessly with 10.6. (anyone have a few hundred dollars to give to this worthy cause?).
But if anyone out there figures out a way to print from Indesign CS 2 on 10.6, please let me know. My actual needs are minimal, so CS2 does all I really need it to do for now . . . if you don't count that I can't print from it. Ha ha . . . not funny.
This is an update on my progress to resolve my problem (it's now two hours later than the text in this post above). I had a copy of InDesign CS 3 that I never installed. I decided to give it a try so I installed it. It installed with no problems and I updated it using the InDesigns update feature.
I can now print with no problems using the print dialog box from within InDesign. However, my specific print features from my brother printer dialog box won't function. All said, I rarely use those features so it seems I now have a copy of InDesign (CS 3) on OS 10.6.5 printing adequately, provided I only use the print dialog box from within InDesign CS3, which suites me fine.
Good luck everyone.

InDesign Crashes When Dealing with Table

Hi Folks,
I'm running a 2012 MacBook Pro, OSX 10.8.4, and InDesign CS6 8.0.1
I have a document I've been working on for the better part of 1.5 years now (a physics book, lots of pictures, diagrams, equations, etc.) This morning it was working fine.
A few hours later, there is one specific table at the end of a chapter on page 199 that appears corrupted. All the data in the table magically disappeared. Now, when I try to edit the table, delete the table, export the file, anything, everything stops and crashes the moment the table comes into play.
I first tried just deleting the table. Causes InDesign to crash.
Then I tried exporting the file to IDML. Causes InDesign to crash.
I've tried deleting preferences... still causes InDesign to crash.
I can export to PDF still.
The only issue appears to be with the file (and that particular table). Editing other files, or other tables in the document, still works fine.
Any ideas? I'm happy to erase the problem content and continue, but I can't afford to throw the entire document away and start over... and anytime I try to delete the table, edit the table, etc, the whole thing crashes.
Here's the start of one of the crash reports:
