Problems exporting to PDF (InDesign 2026)

Problems exporting to PDF (InDesign 2026). We always create newspapers in which InDesign documents are placed. This always worked fine. But since InDesign 2026, I get error messages or the PDF contains empty pages. How is this possible?

Hello @Henk Holders,

 

I'm sorry to learn about the issues following the update. Please attempt to save the file as an IDML from the previous version, then open that IDML in the most recent InDesign 21.0.1 and save it again as a new INDD file. Afterward, try exporting the PDF and inform me if it performs any better.

 

I look forward to your update, so I can assist you further.

Thanks for the tip. This works. But again: is this a bug and will it be fixed? I now have to convert hundreds of ads this way! That's a lot of work…
