I am using a MacBook Pro 2024. The problem also shows on an older MacBook with an earlier version of InDesign. It happens with various documents, renaming the docs does not help.

I would be grateful for any advice.

Are you running Package - or Export -> IDML?

There is one more way to fix INDD document - beside IDMLing:

- create new document - best if it will be at least the same page size - then move all pages from the old document to the new one - to the beginning - delete, last empty page - save with a new name.

But this won't copy unused stuff - styles, colors, etc.

Hi Robert,

InDesign freezes at 60% of the process both when I export to idml or when running package.

Do you have enough RAM?

If you can share your INDD document with me - privately, please click my nickname - then I can take it apart and try to find the problem.
