Hello, I am graphic designer for a company who sells motorcycles spare parts.
So we produce many huge catalogue : 1500 pages with fluid table on more than 100 pages (up to 50 columns, incorporated pictograms...):
Our config :PC : win7, intel xeon 2620 8 core 2ghz, 16go RAM
New PC : Intel I7 8700 3.2Ghz 32Go RAM
We have recently updated indesign to v.14.0.1, and the performances are catastrophic ! (it was slow on CC18, but no comparison possible with CC19)
Impossible to work on some catalogue chapter, with big tables (motorcycle pistons spare parts sorted by model for example).
It is a 130pages document, no images, just a fluid table, a lot of columns + cell fusions, impossible to slip to several files.
On some pages, If I want to enter in the table, I have to wait 5minutes "freezing" and I can modify the text... if I want to move on the next page, 5mn one more time, and 5mn more to enter the table ! (few seconds on CC18, slow, but acceptable)
Exporting this pdf is the worst :
CC18 : 30 minutes
CC19 : 6hours !!!
We works with black change, for 3 different languages, so for 100pages exportation, I need 18hours (1h30 with CC18) Totaly amazing !!!
Some PC are totaly new, with new system + software installation
I tryed to make idml file, to downgrade in CC18... I stoped after 24h... impossible to generate the file... (no software crash, just running with no end)
Currently we are working on CC18 (it is very faster as CC19), but some suppliers are on CC19, so we need to work with the 2 software, it is complicated because if we choose the wrong version, the file couldn't be dowgradable...
Maybe somebody has the same problems ?
14.0.1 update didn't improve anything, an a real improvement is scheduled ?
We have 9 full licences of Adove creative pack, we must respect time to market with our catalogs, it is impossible to work in that way...
Thanks
