Both today & yesterday Indesign has been crashing for me. It doesn't help creating a new document as that one keeps freezing too and I know it's not my computer causing it as I checked the utility disk. I really hope this bug is fixed soon because I need Indesign for work.

The latest version and even tried uninstalling/reinstalling Indesign, and it still isn't working properly.

Have you read it in full? 

 

There is a "nuclear option" :

 

Reset with the nuclear option (4)

If that does not help either, uninstall the application using the CC Cleaner tool and reinstall from the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

Another possibility is a bad font, or missing system font.

It is happening to me. I had on font installed and after the crash, it won't start at all. Took the font out of the computer, and reinstalled Indesign a lot of times and it won't open at all.

run the cleaner tool: Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to solve installation problems then install without importing previous preferences and see if that works.

Hi @lisae8629309,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Can you confirm the version of InDesign & OS? Is it crashing while performing any specific action or it's crashing randomly?

 

Thanks

Rishabh
