Nomader Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi, when I attempt to export the attached file to PDF, it displays an error message "An error occurred while exporting to". I can export the file to other formats such as EPS and PSD without an issue, but I need it in PDF. Thanks in advance for taking a look.

So I had the idea to separate the pages to inspect a little closer. Now I find it exports as PDF just fine.

Staff Gabe Posted February 14, 2020 Staff Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi both, This is actually a bug. You have some shapes inside a group, inside a text frame, which are not on an artboard, and those seem to cause the issue. That layer does not seem to do anything anyways, so deleting it would "solve" the issue. I will log this with our developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
