Computer installs the 16.3.2 version of InDesign on a Mac with 3.7 Ghz 6-Core Intel i5, 16 GB memory - and is having difficulty displaying and editing a 5 x 7 postcard (with two graphics and font in it). - InDesign is running so, so, so slow - I have uninstalled, installed older verions, restarted, reinstalled the latest versions. 

 

Let me know how best to fix this issue.

 

Thank you.

A.

How much spare hard disk capacity do you have?

Have you tried resetting the InDesign preferences?

Uninstalling and renistalling doesn't remove the files required for a clean install.

Hi there,

 

Sorry about the inconvenience. Could you please share a few more details like:

  • macOS version
  • Is this issue started happening after installing v16.3.2?
  • Is the issue happening while working on some documents? If yes, could you please share a sample document with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link.
  • Where are you saving the files (Network Drive/ System HDD/ Shared Folder on System / External HDD)?
  • Are there any recent changes made to your system? For example, any antivirus, system updates, or web extensions installed recently.
  • Did you use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to uninstall the app?

 

Also, you may try the steps suggested in this article (https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/resolve-slow-performance-and-unexpected-behavior-of-indesign...) and let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks & Regards,
Anshul Saini

Yes InDesign is the newest 16.3.2 - right when the issue started.

I looked at the Cloud to share files with you, but it does not support
InDesign files.
So if you can think of another way.

I did use the CC Cleaner, removed the Adobe
Desktop App, and removed everything and then reinstalled everything.

Let me know,

Do not post personal contact information on this public forum.

And it would help if you answered the questions we posed.

Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, InDesign doesn't support cloud documents, but you can upload the InDesign files in the Creative Cloud as standard files. Go to this link adobe.ly/2PCg6k0 and upload it there. Then, click on three dots next to the uploaded file > Get link > Copy Link and paste it here.

Also, share a few more details like:

  • Are you using TimeMachine? If yes, please try disabling it as multiple users have reported that TimeMachine has slowed down some apps while they were working.
  • Does turning off GPU performance from preferences (cmd + k > GPU Performance > Uncheck GPU performance) helps to resolve the issue.

 

Regards,
