InDesign crashes when you try to place text

I use InDesign to convert html into pdf documents: I usually place the html file and then run the script FindChangeByList which replaces the entire contents of the tags with my choice paragraph/character styles.

Given that the above html files are really rudimentary, it takes only two clicks away from over ten seconds for the program to run the script.


We're perfectly well until a few days ago when ID suddenly started taking hours to the documents, even those who had never had problems before. I tried to put html and other formats file with the same result.

Can someone tell me what problem there might be?

I am sure that I haven't changed anything in the configuration of ID or my pc, and I am currently working with InDesign CS4 on Windows Vista.

(I also tried to empty folders chace, to no avail)

Thank you.

Sabrina

The first thing to try when ID becomes flaky like this is to replace your preferences.

Adobe InDesign CS4 * set preferences

Export preset from dialog boxes "set" before doing so if you don't want to have to rebuild everything from scratch.

  • InDesign crashes when you try to save IDML - even after reinstallation

    I feel a little desperate here.

    InDesign has decided to crash whenever I try to save something like IDML.

    InDesign has decided to crash every time I try package a specific file that I need to provide for a sale of rights.


    In the process, he damaged the file I tried to record and package. When it started, I felt compelled to disable the synchronization of files, because I can't afford simply to re-create the too many documents after that Indesign has trashed, so I should have still 'safe' copies online.

    What now?


    I've deleted preferences, deleted the other layouts, remove all the styles and changed all the fonts Arial. That particular file still crashes when exporting record as IDML.

    Funny you should ask. I move to the Office to have a clear space. Made no difference.

    Finally I just made a new doc with the same characteristics, which took about 60 seconds, cut and pasted the content by propagation. 64 pages, it's 33 cut blocks. Each 16 pages or so I exported IDML, until it crashed, and I thought that it was page 60, so I divorced from objects on this page, images of reset to allow text on top, and it was fine.

    It's a document originally created in 1998 in QuarkXpress, translated by Q2ID and content and design redesigned last year, so I guess that a gremlin cruft is not something to really complain. I was pleasantly surprised to see that cut and paste sheets imported style and properly linked images (nice work Adobe!).

  • Firefox crashes when you try to attach a file to gmail compose

    Laptop Vista 32. When you try to attach a file to a gmail account, compose explore dialog and then firefox crashes. Happens every time and began (I think) with the 16 or 17 years old version. Updated plugins, crossed of troubleshooting on the Help menu, I tried safe mode. All to nothing does not. IE works fine.

    After reviewing all services and startup programs using msconfig, I've isolated the problem to a conflict with Dell Media Center in starting. I deleted the software (preinstalled on your laptop) since I never use anyway, re-enabled the acceleration hardware Flash and deleted the line mode protected in the file flash cfg.

    NO MORE CRASHES when you try to attach a file to a message in gmail!

    Thanks for all your help - could not have corrected it without you.

    Hello

    Disconnect all external devices from the computer and try to restart the computer and check what is happening.

     

    Step 1:

    Try to boot to the desktop in safe mode and check what is happening. Only basic files and drivers needed to run Windows are started. If a problem doesn't reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. To start in safe mode follow the link.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Step 2:

    If you are able to boot to the desktop in Mode safe, it means that the third-party application prevents the computer from starting in normal mode. To check you can configure the computer to clean start State and then try to boot into normal mode and check what is happening. To set up its own start-up follow the link below.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    If the problem does not continues when the computer is in the clean start State follow the steps listed to identify which application is causing the problem.

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

    Hope this information is useful.
