PDF Export in InDesign CC 2020 (15.0) is broken
As soon as I try to export a PDF (either with File > Export or File > Adobe PDF Presets), the background task starts but hangs at 32% and never completes. When cancelling the task, it never cancels and I need to Force Quit InDesign to cancel it.
Running Catalina with the latest version of InDesign (15.0)

Hi,
Can you please share a sample INDD file at rdubey@adobe.com with which issue is reproducible?
We tried with some custom InDesign files, but export works fine
Thanks

I've had this problem for years using whatever is the most current version of InDesign. I always have to force quit and restart InDesign. It happens randomly, but one factors may be if the document is working on another task in the background, although I don't always know when that happens.

Same issue...running Catalina with latest InDesign (15.0).
File we're having issues with is an older InDesign file from 2017-ish....needed updates, now can't export a PDF or package a file locally or to/from Dropbox.
