    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. 

     

    1. Do export/print PDF of first half of document (1-19 pages). Let's think that done ok.
    2. Do export/print 20-38 - error
    3. Do 20-29 ok
    4. Do 30-38 error
    5. Do 30-34 error
    6. Do 35-38 ok
    7. Do 30-32 error
    8. Do 33-34 ok
    9. Do 30-31 ok
    10. 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.

    >> I tried to export the whole document and strangely everything went well, 

    I think your PC just wanna some endearment! Are you pat on the back your machine before enabling every every day? )))))

     

    >> and it still did the exports smoothly

    Don't forget to do right now a package (it will be your some backup file). 

     

    >> First I made a package 

    Are you work now from this new package file? Here the deal! May be some non-on-page "bugged" links die after package and your publication after that start to do full PDF.

     

     

     

     


    And about backup - I do strongly recommend to do periodically copies or use it ready things like Acronis TrueImage.

      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
