As a workaround until Adobe get's this fixed you could export it as an .png and open it in Adobe Acrobat. It will then be converted to an PDF.

If you open the PNG in Adobe Acrobat you are unable to edit it, which does not work for the project I am working on unfortunately.

Same issue. Cannot send a client a crucial document due to not being able to export to PDF. Needs to be fixed ASAP.

Remember to turn the quality-slider up (or to the right) when exporting to .png

Hello
Is anyone aware of whether Adobe Express is experiencing issues today when it comes to exporting graphics as (printable) PDFs? The download process keeps getting stuck at 90%.
This happens regardless of the device (desktop/smartphone), browser (settings/extensions), or whether I use my own template or an Adobe Express template; JPG/PNG files work, but (printable) PDF files do not.

I can't download a simple two page pdf. It gets stuck at 90%.

Already did several of the troubleshooting steps mentioned in other threads: clear the cache, used incognito mode, used a different browser, restarted computer, duplicated the file. The only workaround was downloading in JPEG and then converting in Apple preview to PDF, but this not an optimal solution and one that I can really use. 

I need a proper solution. Thank you!
