Hi everyone,

I’m encountering an issue where I can’t export my design file to PDF. The process doesn’t show any error messages—it just doesn’t work. Has anyone faced a similar problem or knows how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Even if it's not kicking back an error, sounds like it doesn't like something in the file. Try exporting a page at a time. If you find a buggy page, try eliminating graphics (usually the issue) on the page until you locate which one it is.

You can export PDF/JPEG/PNG with an option to export to seprate files - last exported file shows last OK page - the next one is with a problem.

Are you trying to make a Print PDF or an Interactive one? For whichever type you're trying to make can you post screenshots of any relevant tabs from either the Export Adobe PDF or Export to Interactive PDF dialog windows that appear during the export process?
