InCopy fails to export a PDF

When I try to export a PDF from InCopy, I get the attached error message.

This happens with any file. I can export as text files, but when I try to export as an EPS file, I also get an error, this one saying:

I've tried searching online but everything I find for this error is regarding InDesign, not InCopy.

 

I don't know if it's related, but also lately when I open a file after restarting my computer, anything in Adobe Garamond Pro is highlighted in pink. If I go to Creative Cloud, the font is still showing as active, but it won't appear properly in InCopy files unless I deactivate the font in Creative Cloud & reactivate it.
If I try to export a PDF before I fix the Garamond issue, I do not get that error. However, once I fix the Garamond issue, the PDF error happens.

I usually end up having to go in a repeat cycle of deactivating, reactivating the font, opening and closing files, restarting my computer, until finally it will export a PDF without error, but it will only do it once, and then the next file I try to export a PDF from will give me that error. 

I can't change the font because it's one of the standard fonts for our publication. 
As far as I know, no one else in our department is having this issues. IT has poked around but nothing has helped.

 

Any ideas?

    Also make sure you don't have that font installed locally anywhere. If it's the Adobe Fonts version that is needed make sure that is the only one active/installed. Conflicting versions can cause all kinds of issues with InCopy/InDesign.

    Is InCopy fully updated? Have you tried trashing your preferences?

    Just double-checked and it says it's up to date.
    I haven't tried trashing my preferences. Which specific preferences & how?

    This is for InDesign but it's the same for InCopy. Rebuilding InDesign Preferences | CreativePro Network
