      Hi,

      I’m using, as stated in the title, InDesign CC2017 and, quite extensively, the MathMagic Pro 9.3 plugin to directly type equations into documents. I’m a student and I use InDesign as a word editor, so my documents are usually composed of one “master” text frame that is threaded for all the pages in the document; and there are a lot of equations. I’ve done this for a while without any issues, using a combination of CC2014 and MathMagic 9.2.

      However, since I upgraded the two pieces of software, I experienced some heavy performance drops. It seems the more there are equations, the more InDesign gets slower (I’m talking here of about 5-6 seconds delay when type “backspace”, for example).

      Does anyone have any suggestion as to, let’s say, a certain element in the preferences of one or both software I could tweak in order to boost performance? Or any other idea? That would be very appreciated as the current form is not workable. Thanks.

      It would be interesting to see if performance is still bad if you remove that plug-in. If so, you may have to discuss it with the MathMagic company. But if the performance is still bad, then it’s possible that it’s a problem with InDesign.

      Make sure you try rebuilding your preferences.

        Well, in some documents I created, I didn’t use the MathMagic plugin at all (although it was installed). The issues start when the plugin is used. I’ll try contacting the company, thanks.
