I am using Adobe InDesign 2026 and have had a spinning rainbow ball every few seconds. Have tried reverting back to older version, resetting preferences, reimporting the file as Indd... working on a deadline and don't know what to do! Any help appreciated :)
r/creativecloud
onedrive account being deleted, what to do about project files locations?
i'm leaving a job, which will result in the deletion of my current digital subscriptions (creative cloud, microsoft onedrive, etc.) and i'm really concerned that even if i save my .aeps, when i try to access them again, all the footage will be "missing" because the original files (which were all in my onedrive accout) are no longer in the same location.
i'm going to try to move everything in my files to a ssd or hard drive and try to redo everything from there but i really don't want all my painstakingly-created old projects to be gone 🥲
is there a way to link the new location as the old one? or will i have to manually put all the media back (i guess it's fine but it will take ages, and it'll only work for the ones where i precomposed the footage, also i don't know how well i can line it up with the masking for some of them)
please please please help!
Working on tools to "Clawback" my "Creative Cloud" data without having to do this a handful of download at a time. This is the first installment, Adobe Acrobat Files
What it is: A Python CLI that walks your entire Adobe Creative Cloud "Cloud Documents" tree and downloads every PDF to local disk. Tracks state in a manifest so re-runs only fetch new or changed files. Reconciles when you delete files locally or remotely.
Why: Adobe's web UI has no "download all" button. I had ~876 PDFs in there. Clicking each one wasn't reasonable.
How it works:
- Playwright launches Chromium with a persistent profile
- You sign in to Adobe in that window once; session is reused on every subsequent run
- Script captures your IMS bearer token from
window.adobeIMS.getAccessToken()in the live page context - Auto-detects your account's root URN from the first
/links?assetId=...request the SPA fires after sign-in - Walks
<host>/content/storage/id/<root>/:page?type=application/pdf— one paginated query that returns every PDF in the entire tree, recursive - Streams downloads via stdlib
urllib(atomic.part→ final rename) so big files don't buffer through Playwright IPC - Records sha256, sizes, modified time, etag, and status for every file in
manifest.json
Status values in the manifest: downloaded, failed, missing_locally, deleted_remotely. Re-runs only re-download a file if the remote modified timestamp has changed.
Dependencies: playwright>=1.45. That's it. Everything else is Python stdlib.
Tested: macOS, Python 3.10+, end-to-end against my own account. Untested on Windows / Linux — testers wanted.
What's still rough (PRs very welcome):
- Sequential downloads only — would love concurrency
- Hardcoded to
type=application/pdf— same endpoint serves images,.ai,.psd, etc. A--typeflag is low-hanging - No progress bar (just line-by-line prints)
- Always headful — once a session is cached, the browser doesn't need to be visible
- No tests

Lost access to everything forever?
Hey all,
Attempted to log in to use light room for the first time in months. It makes me go through all the steps but ive changed my phone number since the last log in and cant remember my password.
From what I can gather, this means ive now lost 9 years of work because there is no possible way I can access it. All because I forgot my password and changed my phone number?!
Please someone tell me theres a way to do this. The website says email them, cancel the subscription and make a new account. Can they do this?
Thanks
