kPDFExportCmdBoss fails (error 9485)

[Chetan S]

Hello All,

I am duplicating InDesing document and trying to export it as PDF, It works on all machine except one. We are getting error 9485, not sure what this is. Can some one help, why does command fails with error  9485. What is this error?

We are getting this error on Windows 10 Por and in InDesing 2023 & 2024 both.

I have added following code snippet for reference 

Thank You!!

Error we were getting because of file out path set was invalid. replying here so that if anyone come across this error can have some input.
