Hi, I am having an issue with a number of documents in indesign. This appears to be a recent problem.

 

When I export to PDF, I can see the files briefly appear on my PC, then boom, it dissapears. I have had this one three documents now and really dont know how to fix it?

Does not matter tried saving to desktop, onedrive, documents where ever. The file appears on say the desktop whilst its being created, then immediatly dissapears. I dont know what else to say.

 

The only way to fix is to output the file as markup then reload then export but its doing it on loads of documents that were just fine before.

What if you create PDF from let's say WORD? Or any other application? 

I would rather suspect problem with your system - not with InDesign itself.

What does disappears mean? From the screen? Does the file get deleted?
