InDesign 2022 PDF Export Failure with macOS Monterey
Since updating to macOS Monterey v. 12.3.1, InDesign (V 17.2) will frequently fail to export a PDF to a data server. I will attempt to export, and it will fail, but when I export to the downloads folder, it works just fine. That issue also extends to when I create an imposed job using the plug-in HP SmartStream. The temporary file will load on the server, but once SmartStream completes, it will disappear. Exporting to the downloads folder works for that too. There's no rhyme or reason as to when it happens, and I never had this issue before updating to Monterey (I was on Catalina for a long time).

Update: It is still happening completely at random. Earlier, I exported to a folder and it failed. Then I tried again with no changes to the file and it worked. It worked again to the same folder and file with one layer hidden, then failed several times when I tried again with a different layer hidden. I would at least like confirmation on whether this is an Adobe or macOS issue.

@James- I am having the same issue with the previous images showing up as corrupted. I'm not working off a server, but I am working off of an external hard drive.

@James glad I haven't been having that read-only issue! Some files randomly won't open in any program now too. But if I edit the file name it opens just fine. Makes no sense.

Recently updated to Monterey also and have same issues plus previously imported images are showing up corrupted in the layouts but if i re-import the same file it looks fine. All files from my server show up as read only (even the new ones) so I have to resave to my Mac then drag to the server files which will reopen as read only.
