Unable to export PSD through Artboards to PDF or file

I tried holding space bar when selecting File>print. The same error occurs when I go file>export>artboard to PDF/file. Here is the screenshot.

Also, here is the PDF option which comes when exporting:

Also, I tried converting PSD to Photoshop PDF and then exporting via ArtboardtoPDF/file. Same error.

Scripts will work for me, but a solution to this bug will be greatly appreciated as I export via ArtboardtoPDF a lot.

Did holding down the spacebar while selecting print from the menu with the mouse fix the issue? I'm guessing not, but you didn't say.

Yes, PDF can be used instead of PSD if you are otherwise happy with the script?

You would need to provide screenshots of the various PDF options windows so that I can use your desired settings.

The scripts are exported in PSD. Do you think we can change some elements so that the script can export in PDF?

Before saving, try holding down the spacebar when selecting the Print menu command (this should reset document printing prefs).

If all else fails, do you still have the same issue with the following script? It uses PSD, however that can be changed.
