Creia que al exportar a PDF interactivo soportaria los estados de objetos ahora me tengo claro que eso no es posible. Muchas gracias por tu ayuda! Saludos.

You create one variant style, or style set, for each variation. With some care and planning the number of styles can be minimized, and if you make them hierarchical (parent-child-child) maintaining and updating them is streamlined.
There isn't really any second way; it's how InDesign and most other modern layout apps manage such things.
If you use Word-style hacks and whitewash like soft returns or spot formatting, projects often become unmanageable messes, especially if they are meant to be updated and reprinted at intervals. (That is, you can get away with some sloppiness for 'one and done' projects, even if it's not a best practice, but anything you will need to revise in cycles, or someone else will need to modify, or if you plan to export it to any e-book format... nope. You need to follow those best-practice rules.)
Even for a one-time project, if it has many interations of a layout need, doing it with a hack means you have to repeat and update the hack many times, and it's a ton more work that way than just setting up style-driven formatting in the first place.

I tried looking for the folder and files but the only folders within Adobe Indesign are Versions 18.0 to 20.0. None of them contain com.adobe.InDesign.plist. This problem makes Indesign completely un-usable.

If your problem is exactly the one that's OP reported, then try to enable GPU Performance in Preferences (if it's supported by your monitor at all, otherwise it will be grayed out.)
If GPU isn't available, then there's no other known solution for this particular problem in InDesign 2025. You'll need to downgrade to InDesign 2024 until this is fixed. (There are numerous recent threads on the forum pertaining to this bug.)

Ok. I was able to make it stop. Somehow an Object Style was being applied suddenly. I went into Object Style and clicked on the "Clear Overrides".

Only suitable workaround seems to be to downgrade to InDsign 19.x (which is InDesign 2024).

In Normal view, I took an object on one layer and moved it to another. That forced InDesign to generate a new Preview view. I then moved the object back to its original layer and the Preview updated to match. I didn't need to delete my preferences, etc. (I have very specific preferences and searches. Do NOT want to start over.)

P.S. As further tests revealed, reverting to 20.0 doesn't necessarily make this bug go away, even though it appears to be only introduced in 20.0.1.

I was able to resolve the ""TOCI" element links to an incorrect destination error" by updating the alternate description for the link. Somehow it was captured incorrectly during conversion from Word to PDF. (From the tags view in Acrobat, right click the link tag (that was flagged by PAC 2024) and select Properties to open the Object Properties window. From there, replace the text in the Alternate Description for Links box.)

Turned on GPU Performance on my Macpro M2 and this stopped for me. It was still happening as of latest update, Dec2024, and finally googled about it, and I tried that (actually wouold have assumed is was already turned on), and that stopped that bug. I lived with it for last year or so, def super annoying trying to select and edit text with that happening everytime.

I doubt you are having the same problem and this is almost a year old discussion which I am locking to avoid any future confusion. Please start a new one with full details on what you're trying to do.

I've attached New file.idml. Old file crashes InDesign when attempting to save as idml (that's why I rebuilt it).

Hi! Unfortunately this workaround doesn't work as expected (at least for me). DisableAsyncExports.txt works occasionally, but when I restart my Macbook Pro (2021, MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1) I just get a beachball when exporting a pdf. Then I have to 1. close InDesign 2025, delete the 'DisableAsyncExports.txt' 2. restart InDesign 3. close Indesign, place the .txt-file back in the 'MacOS'-folder 4. restart InDesign again. Very annoying.... Is there any other solution to this problem? Or a workaround to get it running as expected again? I don't know why Adobe doesn't give us a built-in option to enable/disable the pdf export-progress bar.

Exactly what it says: not enough free space on your C: hard disk. Couldn't be more clear.

Thanks for your reply, Frans. I appreciate it. Someone else on here mentioned that maybe Adobe forgot about the Index, when they fixed an issue with a return at the end. Might have been the ToC. Larry

THANK YOU! This works wonders. Was starting to go insane trying to find a solution to this when importing a 120 page academic doc and thinking I'd need to add spaces in between every word! 🙂

Many users experience various types of slowness in InDesign 2025 on Mac (there are several recent threads on the subject). If nothing helps, you may indeed need to revert to InDesign 2024 until the issue is solved.

The OP is in the Touch screen workspace. Correct advice would have explained that and indeed would advice to get out of that.

Not to mention that the system recommendation for most recent versions of ID is 16GB. It will run on 8GB but have problems with any memory-intensive operation... like export of this scale.

Hi @Frans v.d. Geest,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I apologize for directing you to an outdated UserVoice topic. I appreciate your patience and thoroughness in highlighting that the issue with panels resetting after sleep on dual displays remains unresolved in InDesign 2025 v20.0.1.
I will check with the product team for an update on this matter and follow up with any new information or progress. In the meantime, please rest assured that your feedback is being taken seriously, and I will ensure it reaches the appropriate channels.
Thank you again for your valuable input and continued support.
Best, Abhishek Rao

My best guess would be an RGB Blue that is Out of CMYK Gamut in the type of PDF you use to export. Can you post a screenshot of the colour definition maybe? And tell us what kind of PDF you use ('High Quality;, PDF/X-1 etc.) and what your colour management profile settings are?

I already reset preferences. I've also uninstalled/reinstalled. It's a problem that has been happening with different files for about a year or so. But I'll try some of the smaller tips in this article. thanks.
