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.

Bug

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:

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
