In my 14.0.1 version, there is no longer a preset available for Interactive PDF! I cannot make an interactive PDF! WTF? My client is waiting....

It was caused by overlaid objects with transparency that were set to multiply. I believe editing the file and updating inDesign fixed it.

Turns out that it's ALL export options that don't work. Not just the one PDF setting, Can't even export a JPEG!
