Reply To: Too many pasteboard elements?

I’m trying to figure out why my colleague has been having ID crashing problems for years. She was using an older Mac and Adobe CS6; she just bought a new Mac and subscribes now to Abobe CC but the problems are stlll there. I’ve been working with some of her documents without any problems (except for some PDFs of her files crashing sometime on a particular page), and the first thing I noticed was all those elements on the pasteboard.

She says that sometimes it’s the beach ball rolling non-stop, other times it just freezes.

Is there an article somewhere listing detailed known causes for common ID crashes?
