Hi @Kerry Chen

Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Would it be possible to create a duplicate instance of the file with the issue and share it with me privately? I'll send you a private message with details.


Thanks,
Dave

Hi @olivia_0955,

 

Hi! Sorry to hear you’re having trouble downloading PDFs from Adobe Express on desktop. To help troubleshoot:

  • Which browser and version are you using?

  • Have you tried clearing your browser cache or using a different browser?

  • Is the file large or contains many pages?

Meanwhile, try exporting the PDF as separate pages and downloading them individually to see if that works.

Let me know, and I’ll do my best to help you get this sorted!

Hello I am having the same issue. It is only a two page PDF. I have used two different browsers with no luck and tried to download as separate pages.

Hello @Tracy33170185x26p, thank you for reaching and we're sorry you're experiencing this issue. Can you test the download on a different browser? As a quick workaround, try duplicating the project and downloading the copy, this often resolves temporary issues. If the problem persists, let us know if you see an error message or if it freezes at a certain point. We're here to help!

 

Thanks,

Chaimaa

Hey @jackson_3212, Welcome to our community, and thanks for posting here! We'd need to look at your project to investigate this. You'd need to provide us with edit access. I'll reach out to you via community DM with details on sharing the project.

I'm having a variation of this problem too. I have a file containing six charts, which I can download as jpegs and pngs, but not pdfs. When I attempt to download a pdf, the progress window goes from 0% straight to 100% with nothing in between, but no download happens. Nothing.

Hi @Charlie234180662fv8,

 

Welcome to the community! We're sorry to hear about this. Did you get any error messages? If so, can you share a screenshot of the error? Which platform are you using? Is it on desktop or mobile? Did you try downloading the file in bothe platform to check if you're getting the same results?

 

Also, have you tried the steps mentioned above to try duplicating the file?

 

Regards,

Tarun

Thanks for getting back to me. No, there were no error messages, and I’m using Safari on an iMac. 
What do you mean by ‘both platform’? And I’m not sure what you mean by ’the steps mentioned above to try duplicating the file’ (the only step you mention is downloading in ‘both platform’). I don’t want to duplicate the file – I simply want to be able to download it once.

Thanks for your response @Charlie234180662fv8,

 

Did you try on a mobile device? Is it possible for you to share the file with me via private message with edit rights to investigate further? 

 

Private messages should be accessible from the envelope in the top right corner. This should be the direct URL https://adobe.ly/47TqH2S

Tarun
