I've been stuck on this issue for the past week now. I've tried every setting there is and switched them around, but I'm unable to get it to work. It keeps giving me the same "failed to export to pdf" message and it is making me go nuts.

InDesign CS3 is around 15 years old and will not operate safely under present operating systems. As the Legend stated, it's time to upgrade to CC.

If "specific one" then https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/error-background-pdf/m-p/10674245 - see here my post about half-blade method.

Remember, never say you can't do something in InDesign, it's always just a question of finding the right workaround to get the job done. © David Blatner

It indeed is a specific file that has this issue. I'll give your thread a try and see if it does anything.

An additional question: Did you install your InDesign from Adobe's original installer or via migration?

Warning: do NOT uninstall CS3 to try to fix anything! It is no longer possible to reinstall! It might be that your luck has run out and it's time to subscribe.

Does fail every file or a specific one?
If others are successful, can you export single pages?
Do you use. EPS files?
