This InD file was fine yesterday but this morning it crashed on three different computers. I tried saving in a new location, new name, opening as a copy, etc. But crashing keep happening. 

Can anyone look into the file if I zip packaged? Deadline Today!

I guess I fixed my own problem. Basically:

  1.  I tried to figure out which page(s) exactly was casuing the crash by exporting the file into PDF in batches. 
  2. Once I knew which selection of pages it was, I created a new InD document and started moving pages from the corrupt file to the new clean file. I was not able to scroll in the corrupt file to delete the bad pages so I had to migrate what was before and what was after it.
  3. I finally recreated the corrupt pages in the new document and saved the new file.

 

I can breathe again.
