SmartStream Designer for inDesign CC 2019 (14.0) on macOS Mojave 10.14

[DavidTP]

Normally HP sends out an email to current owners of SSD to let them know there is a new version coming and when to expect it but haven't heard anything and I haven't been able to find any information on wether HP is developing a new version or not. Does anyone have any info on this or a workaround to install SSD on inDesign 2019?

I have the same question as Currently holding off updating InDesign as Smartstream no longer works and use daily.

I received information from HP that a new version will be made available mid-November 2018. 

Also check out the new Adobe Illustrator plug-in, Smartstream D4D (Designer for Designers) which is available free to download now: http://hp.com/go/SmartStreamD4D

Thanks for the info!  I'm starting to receive many files in inDesign CC 2019 but I can't update yet. I hope they don't delay it or something.

I have not upgraded to the latest Indesign CC 2019 but I have upgraded to the latest OS Mojave 10.14. I get acces denied when I try to install Smart Stream Designer for Indesign CC 2018. Is it because I have the latest Mac OS?

You might need to check the security settings in Mac OS preferences to allow for apps and installers to run. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and click on "Allow Apps downloaded from App Store and identified developers"

You should be able to download the updated version of the installer here when it becomes available:
