Tengo un problema con un documento de 186 páginas. Cuando trato de eliminar o agregar una página nueva, se cuelga el programa. Además no me deja abrirlo como archivo IDML ni copiarlo a otro archivo nuevo.

He probado con todo lo que encontré en repost como eliminar el caché o el archivo Indesing Resing y no arreglo el problema.

Espero alguien pueda ayudarme.

    Is this problem happening with just this one document or with any document you open or create? If it is happening globally then you might want to try resetting your InDesign preferences. This process will restore the program to its defaults. Hopefully it will provide more stability of performance for you.

    To reset preferences:

    For Macintosh Users: The User Library folder in which InDesign’s preferences are stored is hidden by default on most Macintoshes. To access it make sure that InDesign is closed and click on the desktop to launch a Finder Window (Command-N). With this window in column view follow the path User>Home folder (it’s the folder with an icon that looks like a house—it may have the user’s name rather than “Home”) and click on the Home folder. With the Option Key pressed choose Library from the Finder Go Menu. “Library” will now appear within the Home folder. Within the Library folder find the folder called Preferences and within it find the folder called “Adobe InDesign” and the file called “com.adobe.InDesign.plist” and delete both that folder and that file. When InDesign is next launched it will create new preference files and the program will be restored to its defaults.

    For Windows Users: You can try the quick way of resetting on a PC which is to hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift when launching InDesign and respond affirmatively when asked if you want to reset. There have been some recent reports that the window asking if you want to reset is not popping up but that the prefs are being reset anyway. If this works great but if it doesn’t you may have to manually delete them.

    To do so:

    The preference files are hidden. To find them go to the Control Panel and open Folder Options and then click the View tab. Then select “Show hidden files and folders” or “Show hidden files, folders or drive options” in Advanced Settings. Then delete (or rename) the folder at the end of this path: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\<Version #>\<Language>. Make sure that InDesign is closed when you do this. When you relaunch the program it will create  new preference files and the program will be at its default settings.

    The advantage of manually deleting preference files is that after you’ve reset up the program (make sure that no document window is open) to your liking, you can create copies of your personalized “mint” preference files (make sure that you quit the program before copying them—that finalizes your customization) and use them in the future to replace any corrupt versions you may need to delete.

    También probé con ese método, pero de igual manera el error se mantiene.

    When you say “copy it to a new file”--what process are you taking?

    If not using the Move Pages option on the Pages panel? (Create a single page document of the same size and try moving all the pages from your original document to the new one.)

    Si, eso es lo que he intentado, moverlas pero cuando llega a 10 páginas, aunque sea una por una se bloquea todo.

    Hi, thanks for the additional information!

    Could you share the version of InDesign you're using along with your computer's operating system? Also, just out of curiosity, where is the file saved? Is it on your computer's local storage or on an external drive/server?


    Thanks,
