InDesign 2025 Crashes When Exporting PDFs from a Book (.indb)

Hello,

 

After updating to InDesign 2025, I have noticed significant performance issues. The program has become much slower, and every time I try to create a PDF from a book, InDesign crashes and closes entirely.

 

Can you please help me?

Hello @fernando_5528,

 

Thank you for reaching out and sharing the details of your issue. It sounds like you're experiencing an unexpected crash when exporting to interactive PDF in InDesign 2025 (version 20.0).

To help resolve the issue, I recommend updating InDesign to version 20.0.1, as this version includes several bug fixes and improvements. After updating, please test the export again to see if the problem persists.

Let me know how it goes, and if the issue continues, we can explore further troubleshooting steps.

 

Best,
Abhishek Rao

Hi @chiara_7538 ,

did you build a new book from InDesign 2025 documents?

Or did you use an old book file from e.g. InDesign 2024 and opened it with InDesign 2025?

I used an old book file (InDesign 2024), but I converted it and re-saved it before opening it in InDesign 2025

Could this be causing the issue?  I'll try creating a new book directly in InDesign 2025.

I created a new book with InDesign 2025, but it keeps crashing and closing.
