Hi,

 

InDesign is not allowing me to save any document. I thought one of my files might be causing the issue but I have tried to create a new document with dummy text and I'm getting the same error.

    Correct answer Robert at ID-Tasker

    From the screenshot - Mac? Sonoma? Update to 14.4

    If Ventura - then update to 13.6 or something like that - DO NOT UPDATE TO SONOMA!!

     

    Then - check your access privileges:

    but you should read whole thread.

    Hi guys. You can also try to change the setting in compression. Choose the zip insted of none. Please see the attached image.

    I hope it'll help.

    This happens to me when I have overlayed images, for example a background image with several logos and text on it. The only work around I've found is to change my layout or otherwise simplify my design. Using lower-resolution images also can help. I'm on Mac Studio M2 Max/64GB

      Hi @HARSHIKA_VERMA 

       

      I have Sonoma and I followed the steps but InDesign is not an option. Have a look at the screenshot
