Export PDF / Save = Spinning Color Wheel of Death OS X Catalina

[#1]

All-of-a-sudden, InDesign won't let me save or export a PDF from any .INDD file I open. OS X Catalina. As soon as I select the Save As... or select on the PDF export presents commands, I get the spinning wheel of death on my iMac.

No files work. None.

Any ideas?

Restarting the Mac fixed it. "Did you turn it off and turn it back on again?" - IT Crowd 🙂
