InDesign CC (14.0.2) slowdown with multiple master pages on macOS

Question

Hoping someone can help me figure this out! I'm getting a massive slowdown when I exceed 4-5 master pages in my doc. (Currently, I have/want to use 10 master pages for 64 pages of text; created as a parent and child masters.)

I've turned off live Preflight & Save Preview images, set display to Typical. There are no images or drawings or links in this doc. Nothing else is running, and I'm using a late 2014 iMac, 4ghz intel core i7, 32 GB memory, AMD Radeon r9 m295x 4GB graphics card.

Once I delete half my master pages, everything runs smoothly no matter how many pages of text I have in this doc!

Any ideas?

Hi there,Sorry to hear about the slow performance in InDesign documents with multiple master pages. In addition to the suggestions shared by Mike, you can also try moving the pages to a new document. In case you need help, you can refer to these help articles:Reset Preferences: Set preferences in Adobe InDesign Move pages to new document: Manage pages and spreads in InDesign Let us know if that helps or if you need any further assistance.Regards,Srishti
