Probleme beim Verpacken in Adobe InDesign 20.5 unter macOS 26 mit Dateien auf Synology NAS (DSM 7.1)

Community Beginner ,
Sep 25, 2025 Sep 25, 2025

Nach dem Update auf macOS 26 (Tahoe) tritt beim Verpacken von InDesign-Dokumenten (Version 20.5) ein reproduzierbarer Fehler auf, wenn die verknüpften Dateien auf einem Synology NAS (DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 9)liegen und über SMB eingebunden sind.

Die Fehlermeldung lautet:
„InDesign konnte das Dokument nicht verpacken. Notwendige verknüpfte Dateien können nicht kopiert werden.“

Das Problem besteht nicht, wenn das gleiche Dokument samt aller verknüpften Dateien lokal auf der internen Festplatte gespeichert ist. Dort lässt sich das Verpacken problemlos durchführen.

Tests mit unterschiedlichen Dokumenten, Schriftarten und Dateiformaten bestätigen, dass die Ursache offenbar in der Kombination aus macOS 26 + SMB-Zugriff auf die NAS zu liegen scheint – nicht an beschädigten Dateien oder ungültigen Pfaden.

Wir bitten um Prüfung, ob es sich hier um ein Problem im Zusammenspiel von macOS 26 (SMB-Handling), Adobe InDesign oder DSM 7.1 handelt – und ob ein Fix oder Workaround geplant ist.

Vielen Dank vorab!

Hi @Tobi1908,

 

Thanks for your patience. I checked with the product team about this behavior, and it appears the issue is linked to the way InDesign interacts with NAS volumes when connected over SMB on macOS 26 (Tahoe). That's why the files work fine when copied locally but fail when accessed directly from the NAS.

The team suggested testing with an AFP connection instead of SMB, as this may help avoid the problem. Ref: Connect to a network drive with AFP | Seagate India.

Could you please try

Hi @Sedi36047495qctw and everyone, 

 

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I've shared this with our product team, and a bug has already been logged for this packaging issue when working with documents stored on a server. The team is actively investigating. Since the issue isn't reproducible in our internal tests, the team would like to observe the behavior directly on your setup to better understand the cause.

Would you be open to a brief debugging session with the team? If so, please send m

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks for all the detailed inputs and for your patience. I checked back with the product team and wanted to share the latest update. The team has retested the Package workflow using InDesign 21.0, 21.0.1, and 21.0.2, and it’s working as expected internally on macOS 26 for both local and network locations, across different PDF presets and with both embedded and unembedded links. At this point, the issue isn't reproducible in our internal environment.

Since some of you are still ru

Hello @ben_2159,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you try re-enabling Full Disk Access for InDesign from System Preferences (https://adobe.ly/4nhSiQ9) to check if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Anubhav,
many thanks for your quick response. I already did so, but it didn't help at all.
I'm very sure it mus be an issue between MacOS 26 and Synology Disk Sation with DSm 7.1
Best regards,

Screenshot 2025-09-25 at 9.05.22 AM.png

Upgdrading to/Installing a new Mac OS has this "habit" of resetting some permissions that are necessary for accessing files stored on any external drive or network server. The first place to check is your System Preferences > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access. Your Adobe CC apps shoud be listed there; if not, add them all.

If that isn't the issue, there might be a system level incompatibilty between macOS 26 and your Server. Being so new, I suspect there's something in Tahoe.

Thanks for your feedback Brad, I will try so. Even it doesn't really make sense to me as the disk access permessions haven't been enabled unter my previous MacOS Version but all worked fine.
Any progress I'll keep posted.

Hi @ben_2159,

 

Thanks for sharing your inputs on this. Since the issue seems tied to macOS 26 with NAS connections, could you please try testing once in Safe Mode and confirm if the packaging still fails there. It would also help to check if the problem continues when working completely locally with both the document and links stored on the internal drive. This will narrow down whether the issue is specific to the OS or something broader.

 

Looking forward to your update.

Ich habe aktuell ein großes Problem, wenn ich InDesign-Dateien öffnen möchte, die auf meinem WD Cloud Server liegen.

 

Bei extrem vielen Dateien kommt die Meldung, dass ich diese nicht öffnen kann. Mir scheint es aber so, dass das Problem erst mit macOS 26 gekommen ist.

 

Was komisch ist, ist, dass ich die Datei öffnen kann, wenn ich diese vom Server auf den Mac kopiere. D.h. die Datei ist auf keinen Fall beschädigt und InDesign hat nur ein Problem, wenn diese auf dem Server liegt.

 

Ich glaube, dass es aktuell ein Problem von Adobe mit Apple gibt.

Problem ist halt auch, dass jeder sagt "der andere ist Schuld" - das brint so nur keinen weiter 😞

Hello,

The following is listed under Files & Folders, but I am unable to change it.

InDesign was not included in the list for full hard disk access. I added it myself and granted permission.

macOS 26😞

 

By @Tobi1908

 

It appears that other users experience the same (or similar) issue on macOS 26:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/probleme-beim-verpacken-in-adobe-indesign-20-5-u...

 

It's too early to update production machines to macOS 26 (you'd want to wait some 3-6 months at least).

 

I'd recommend to revert to Sequoia as it already works reliably for you. Install macOS 26 Tahoe on a test machine to see when it becomes suitable for a reliable production workflow.

Hier das selbe Problem seit macOS 26, und nur mit dem aktuellen InDesign 2026. Das InDesign 2025 läuft problemlos mit Daten von der Synology über smb. Das ist also eindeutig ein InDesign-Problem! Bitte allerschnellstens beheben. Aktuelle Macs kommen mit Tahoe und unterstützen afp nicht mehr.

Hallo an alle! Ich habe mir auf dem NAS das AFP-Protokoll freischalten lassen und seitdem funktioniert es gefühlt wieder. Ich denke aber auch, dass hier Adobe und Synology schleunigst nachbessern sollte, da es da draußen auch professionelle Anwendergibt, die nicht den ganzen Tag ihre Produktionsdaten hin- und herkopieren können, sondern mit teuer bezahltem Euipment und Software Geld verdienen müssen. Da es unter älteren Adobe- und MacOS-Versionen funktioniert hat, sollte das Problem auch nachvollzieh- und behebbar sein. Hoffentlich tut sich da bald mal was... br Christian

After updating to both Tahoe 26.1 and ID 2026, I can no longer package files located on my Synology NAS.  I'm getting the "indesign could not package the document cannot copy necessary linked files" error. I can package if all of the files are on my local drive. This is fine, except I have thousands of files on the NAS that my studio works from. 

 

Anyone have a solution for this? I'm going nuts. 

 

My phone call with Adobe support was "if you resaave all of the linked files with new names in new locations, they will re-link up" This is a nightmare for a studio, so its a non-starter. 

 

Affinity works fine, and would be a PITA to move to, but I'd prefer for now to stick with ID.

Sounds like a permissions issue. Apple keeps locking things down.

 

Can you package to your local hard drive? If so, I would be looking at system preferences to find any permission flags.

Hi @atracksler,

 

Adding to what expert suggested, please try testing the behavior in Safe Mode to rule out any third-party interference during the packaging process (Ref: https://adobe.ly/4r1ueU4). You can also check this similar community thread where other users encountered the same issue: https://adobe.ly/4p9Xp5s.

As noted there, the problem seems tied to how InDesign interacts with NAS volumes connected over SMB on macOS 26 (Tahoe). The team suggested trying an AFP connection instead of SMB, as this often resolves the issue. Please give this a shot and let me know if it helps.

Depuis l'installation de indesign 26 j'ai des bugs d'assemblage ... le fichier indd est sur un serveur et ne veut pas faire d'assemblage ci joint le message : indesign n'a pas pu assembler impossible de copier le ou les fichiers  liés nécessaires" j'arrive à faire un assemblage quand le fichier est en local donc pas sur le serveur et quand la pièce liée est en local également sinon impossible. Idem pour l'ouverture des fichiers (bugs d'ouverture de fichier indd) dans d'autres versions (antérieures) le fichier sur le serveur ne s'ouvre pas il s'ouvre seulement quand il est sur le bureau  et je suis sur macOS Tahoe 26

Merci pour vos réponses
