The export of the PDF file in Indesign failed.
I don't know which side of the document has an error.
It works for other documents - with the same settings.
Only with this one document does this error message appear - without reference to the page. He doesn't make a single page as a PDF. Not even 1 of 1 or 2 of 2...
Looks like it's stuck somewhere...
What could that be?
I am already despairing....
With my friends, writing a PDF works on the same document. So it can't be the document itself.

Troubleshooting might be a problem found in the file or in the application. 

Here are some troubleshooting strategies to tease out the source of the problem.

Have you tried exporting one page at a time, to see if the problem can be isolated to some of the content?

 

Have you tried exporting using other settings, such as one of the Standards, unmodified?

 

If neither of those helps, try "fixing" the document by saving it to IDML, then reopening it, saving it to a new INDD file name, and trying the export again. (This cycle will purge junk from the working file and often fix small structural errors and corrupted content.)
