indesign cc 2015 crashes After exporting assigments (and sometimes if I updating assigments or tying to save the file after updating assigments)

Take a look through this troubleshoot guide

File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other

Before you storm off, try trashing your InDesign preferences:

Close and relaunch InDesign, and IMMEDIATELY hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac), and respond in the affirmative to the dialog asking if you really want to replace the preferences. You must be extremely fast on the keyboard (if you don’t see the confirmation prompt, you were too slow!)

You may need to do it a couple of times before you get the hang of it.

Let us know how you get on as there are other solutions for you to try if that doesn't work.

I know this may be obvious, but try checking for updates to both InDesign, AND your operating system. Sometimes that fixes weird issues. Or maybe try removing some fonts you are not using.

Also, sometimes I try a process of elimination. Try making a brand new blank file, and slowly add a few elements from your existing file to see when or if the crash happens.

Sorry it's still not working. I've been tied up in work all day and only getting back to the forums.

Please let me know if restoring your preferences worked.

You can also export your InDesign file to an IDML. Open the new IDML file and it opens as Untitled. Then save this to a new file.

Don't overwrite your old file. Make sure it's a new name.

There's plenty of reasons why you're experiencing this and I'm sure if you stick with us we can help you resolve it.

Do you have any font management applications or InDesign plug ins.

(Just trying to tick things off.)

Stick with this forum and I bet someone comes up with a solution.

When you uninstalled InDesign did you do it by using the drop down in the Creative Cloud app (see screen shot) and did you subsequently run Adobe Cleaner before re-installing InDesign Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems  ?

I wanted to make sure you'd done it the correct way, so I spelt it out as you hadn't detailed how you'd done the uninstall, clean-up and reinstall.

Presumably you've checked the system requirements: System requirements for Adobe InDesign CC for Mac and Windows OS

There are other contributors on this forum who have more in-depth knowledge than me who, hopefully, will chime in with further suggestions.

We have a new install of Creative Cloud and are having a similar issue. We still have Creative Suite 5 installed as that is supposed to be supported and not interfere.
