Hello everyone,

after updating to Adobe InDesign, I have been experiencing very serious stability and file corruption issues on macOS Sequoia 15.7.4.

System configuration:

  • iMac Pro
  • Intel Xeon W 8-core 3.2 GHz
  • Radeon Pro Vega 56 8 GB
  • 32 GB RAM

Issues encountered:

  • significant overall slowdowns;
  • freezes during file saving and PDF export;
  • unexpected crashes requiring forced restart of the application;
  • loss of content after reopening files.

The most critical issue is file corruption: after certain crashes, when reopening the document, entire graphics and text contents associated with specific layers disappear. At first, I assumed it was related to isolated corrupted files, but the issue has repeatedly occurred across multiple documents, including newly created files.

In some cases, I had to manually reinsert an entire language section within 150-page product catalogs translated into 7 languages.

The issue occurs regardless of whether the files are stored locally, on cloud storage, servers, or NAS systems.

I have already tried:

  • resetting preferences;
  • downgrading the software version;
  • checking and rebuilding affected files.

Unfortunately, none of these actions provided a stable solution.

In addition, I am also experiencing severe slowdowns with Adobe Illustrator, particularly during editing, screen rendering, and file saving operations.

Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with the latest Adobe versions on macOS Sequoia?
Have you found any reliable workaround or solution to prevent file corruption?
