Question

indesign crash on 18% (export pdf)

hello...

i've got crashing problems when i use a profile of a newspaper of printer...i export a document and every time on 18% i have a crash.

When i export a pdf by the standard settings, there is no problem.

The work-around now, is making a pdf with the standard settings..import this pdf in a document with the same measurements and the export the document with the right profile. Which is working, but is 2x work.

these profiles ( newspaper ISONP_1a-GCR.icc /  SC folder.icc ) have been used for the 5 last years without problems

I'm working on a iMac 27" 10.12 sierra with the creative cloud

Does anybody have a suggestion?

    Hi

    Hope you have this solved by now! But just in case you don't - I wrote a troubleshooting guide in the FAQ for this issue.

    Could be something that's linked in the Indesign file that's corrupt - when it gets to that image/art/whatever at 18% of the export it crashes.

    Try turning off background export and watch the progress bar when saving the pdf - this should show you what page it crashes on then you can have a look to see if there are any corrupt objects/images on that page.

    Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner

    Hi Marcel,

    Can you please provide more information:

    InDesign Version

    Is it file specific or is reproducible with every InDesign Document? Can you please share some sample files at santalwa@adobe.com?

    Regards

    You could try and convert to profile needed in Acrobat, see if that works

    Files do get corrupted. You could get a copy of the profile from another computer or another source to see if has become corrupted.

    steve, i have a copy of it..but i think it's something else...not all the files have problems with.

    But i have the idea the last time, i'm getting more crashes.

    i can overwrite the profile...
