Error on Page After Last Page of Document When Exporting to PDF in InDesign

When I am making a pdf I am getting a failed to export pdf error. It says that the error is on the page that is the next page that would be in the document, i.e. if the last page is 12 the issue is on 13. It does this if you add or remove pages so is not specific to a certain page number.

This is happening in all docs I have recently created but not if I try to pdf old docs. If I move the pages to a new doc it will then make a pdf, so I have been able to work around it, but I'd love to know if this is something known and if there is a way to solve it.

What platform and OS / InDesign versions?

Can you try IDMLing to fix corrupted file?

Export as IDML, open, save with a new name - do not overwrite your original file.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

We use Windows 11 and I'm using Indesign 2024.

I had tried exporting as IDML file before posting to this site and it did not resolve the issue.

I have a work around but would like to know if there is a solution.

The problem has started since I began using a new laptop and I am wondering if I could try uninstalling Adobe and reinstalling it, as I have not encountered this issue before.

Before you uninstall - you could try and reset preferences.

Here is a link to a few steps you can try:
