Ugly new core of the forum don't goes through links to my post about half-blade method. Ok, I will re-write to you:

You are have 38 pages, for example.

Do export/print PDF of first half of document (1-19 pages). Let's think that done ok.
Do export/print 20-38 - error
Do 20-29 ok
Do 30-38 error
Do 30-34 error
Do 35-38 ok
Do 30-32 error
Do 33-34 ok
Do 30-31 ok
Do 32 error

Here you find that error on the page 32.

Check on this bugged page all the images, image links. Usually some png, tif, eps crush InDesign by magic reasons. Convert any raster images from this bugged page to .psd and any vector images to .ai files, re-place them as psd/ai. Save your publication and try it export/print of PDF again.

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

Try to 1 to 45

Then 1 to 50

See what works and what doesn't.

You can probably narrow down the page.

Ok! What it happen! First I made a package as a backup in an external disk, than I exported the document dividing in 4 parts, and never give any problem.

I tried to export the whole document and strangely everything went well, so I tried to make some changes too and it still did the exports smoothly

I don't know what has changed, the document I worked on is always the same, tomorrow I'll try again and see if the problem has solved itself. Thank you so much for your support, patience and cooperation.

You can find which image is causing the problem by using InDesign's Preflight utility and panel.

See Adobe's online help for details about how to use Preflight, develop your own preflight standards, and correct problems. It's a very good tutorial: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/preflighting-files-handoff.html

And here's an Adobe tutorial video: https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/how-to/indesign-live-preflight.html
