InDesign crashing when you export a great book

I have a big InDesign book (159 records) who recently started crashing when I export all. The book was created years ago, and I can't understand what would cause this issue all of a sudden. Originally, I thought it was due to related referrals, I've recently added, because there the only thing that's changed on the book. But I removed all the cross references, and I always have the same question. I can export the first half of the book, the second half of the book, or even 3/4 of the book successfully. It's only when I try to export all what InDesign crashes.

I use the latest version of InDesign CS 5.5 on OS X 10.8.2.

I have another discussion posted on this (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5132896), but decided to start a new thread because the other was on referrals. Towards the end of this discussion, people started suggesting that it was only a problem with my computer - I don't have enough free space, etc. But I had my company IT guy look at the activity monitor, while I tried to export the book, and he assured me that my computer is completely capable to complete the export. This makes sense to me because I've always been able to export the book using that computer, and the book did not much larger or more complex.

A solution we found was to export the book as an interactive PDF instead of a PDF print. However, I was fighting more "BOLD" text on pages with transparency for years and export as interactive PDF seems to make this much worse. (For more information about this issue, see the following thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/421267.)

There is someone smarter than me who has a guess as to why I was able to export the book as an interactive PDF, but not as a PDF print? I hope that this new information will help in the fracas of troubleshooting.

Eureka! I've recreated the book from scratch, and I can export fine now. The book file must have been corrupted.

He sat at the bottom of my list of things to try all the time, but I never thought it would be the solution. I hope that if someone else has this problem, they fall upon this and try this first place last!

  • 6 inDesign crashes when you export a PDF file

    I get the same report of crash for days, every time I try to export a PDF in InDesign CS6. I don't know what is happening with this particular file, but can I export other files without problem. I have deleted all links .indd and .ai and does not use the new fonts that won't export in other files. I tried to export single pages and the whole document, in different resolutions, and it crashes every time. I stuck my last report of accident here: INDESIGN 6 CRASH REPORT - Pastebin.com

    Export the file to IDML and open that.

    Note also that you must patch InDesign (help > updates) and CS6 is not taken in charge at 10.11.

  • 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!).

  • 9.2 CC InDesign crashes when you open the data merge Panel

    I have a document that is in a book (for multiple files) with cross-references to other documents in the book. I also almost all of the content in an inCopy assignment in order to manage in multiple versions/layouts with the same content. All references are separated InCopy as page numbers vary from book to book.

    That said, so that other documents in the work of book very well, this one is having issues. Whenever I try to view the data merge Panel, it crashes. I had a similar problem with other files where if I try to select a merge data source it would break. I've solved the problem of the registration of a copy, the deletion of all pages of the document, by selecting the data merge source (who now works with any content on the pages), and then copy and paste the content on the pages back. Not sure why this works, but it did.

    The problem is that I tried the same solution on this document and it worked until I tried to click on the data merge Panel after you follow these steps, inDesign crashes. If I open the data merge Panel, THEN open the document, it crashes as well.

    I'll try to redo this with panel data fusion open while I copy and paste content back in and see if I can refine the problematic content if that is the question.

    Other documents are open so that they are accessible?

  • Premiere Pro CS6 crashes when you export H264 files

    I shot a video with the Canon 5 d Mark III (1080 p) and edited a 4 minute video that I am trying to export in an H264 file. I used the preset for Vimeo 29.97, 1080.

After that I could not export again! The information?

    Thank you

    Try to remove all the bodies earlier and partially exported versions of the file.  Then open a different project in Premiere Pro (any; even a new project will do).  Go to Edition > Preferenes > Media and click the Clean button.  Close Pr, open your project of problem and try to export again.

  • 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.

  • Gradient of disappearing from InDesign CS4 when you export to PDF

    My first question ever on this forum, so I'll try to follow the proper protocol.

    I use Indesign CS4 in a windows environment.  Have a simple file I am trying to export to PDF and have done so many times before without problem.

    But now I get the gradient of the image itself endangered since the exported PDF file.  I don't know what settings I would have changed to cause the problem and it never arose before.  Here's what I see in ID prior to shipping and the result exported.  Using the base for a 1.8 PDF export settings.  Original image is in CMYK mode and has a blue rectangle CMYK sitting on the bottom with a gradient of 90 degrees from the top base.

    gradient1.jpggradient2.jpg

    The strange part is that the original image has no gradient or a feather in it, just a solid color image.  So it exports the gradient of the blue rectangle to create a fade, there simply is not blue.

    So confused.

    Peter, thanks for the suggestions, while they do not resolve the problem, it leads me to THE problem.

    Export, it was never actually produce a problem with gradients or anything else besides.  The problem was inside MY acrobat.  I have on a previous project, has enabled the internal option to replace the colors in the document with the contrast color highand didn't realize that I didn't stop him.

    AY dios mio.

    Thanks to all that you guys, stellar community!  You are in the State of Washington to the Southwest, swing, Starbucks is on me. =)
