InDesign CC 2015 crashes on export to .article file

I'm running CC15 build 11.2.0.99. I've created a document that I would like to export to an article, but when I go to File > Export... and select DPS Article, InDesign will crash every time. I've even created a very basic layout with just a couple of shapes and it will still crash. I've also deleted InDesign preference files. Does anyone else experience this issue or have a suggestion?

I'm running on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

The team resolved this issue by updating the InDesign CC 2015 plug-in. You can either wait until the updated plug-in becomes available through an InDesign CC 2015 update, or you can manually download and install the DPS tools here: Digital Publishing Solution Help | Install tools for DPS 2015

Not sure if this is related but I had the same issue on a windows machine. On export to article the file would be created but Indesign would crash. Problem went away after I rebooted the computer.

Having the same problem in InDesign CC 2015.2 (11.2. 0.99) It crashes everytime I export a DPS article. Not sure if the articles are ok, as it's such a faff to try and preview them using DPS Preflight, I haven't got that far yet!

Here is a crash reports.

I did notice the article export time stamp does read as if it worked. When Tested, also worked but the update crashed 2x before I could see it.

I'm not able to replicate in a 10.10.5 OS with ID CC 2015 (11.2.0.99 Build). What I've done is I've logged a bug with the product team so they can take a look at the various crash reports you provided.

I'll keep you posted on the investigation.

Hi,

Can you all check whether or not you also get a crash when exporting to Interactive PDF for instance?

Thanks.
