Can't resize export to PDF dialog box

This problem has happened to me before and I can't remember what fixed the problem. 

When I export from Indesign to a PDF, the dialog box is huge and I can't resize it as I used to be able to do. Any suggestions?

Hey

 

Try resetting your preferences:
The easiest way to reset everything is to delete the InDesign preferences: as soon as InDesign starts to boot hold down Shift, Alt, Ctrl (and Apple/Cmd if working on a Macintosh). A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.
Further info and instructions here if needed:

Thanks, that worked. I don't like resetting my preferences as it takes quite of bit of time to reset. I took screen grabs of all my previous preference settings and that helped with the process.
