Publisher 2.5.6 can no longer "Export..." to pdf? Error every time, multiple files.

[rabb1t]

I think I've found a bug after the recent 2.5.6 update for Publisher. I'm working on some supplements for Daggerheart and I have 2 different files I've been working with. So far, since I started on the first one back in August, I've always "Export..." to .pdf and it's worked fine. I think a day or two I updated to 2.5.6, but I don't work on the files every day, nor do I try to export them when I do make some changes. Today, however, it seems neither can export to .pdf. I get an error message which stops the export. No screenshot seems helpful as the error box literally just says "an error occurred while exporting to" and no further information.

I guess you can do the workaround of "Print" and send it to a pdf. That effectively looks the same. But I don't understand why the nicer more controlled export version is failing while print works.

Hi @rabb1t This is a known issue with the 2.5.6 update. You can work around it bey selecting Embed Profile in the Export dialog.

Odd. I did a search for not being able to print and got no results, heh. Maybe Google was feeling selfish the other day?
