PDF export do not work with big documents
Indesign 21.4.1
Mac mini M4 24 GB
Tahoe 26.5.2 (25F84)
Document 1834 pages
3 colums
It contains only running text—no images—using paragraph and character styles. It is entirely in Times New Roman. The document is simple, though it is quite long.
It creates a 0 KB PDF file and just keeps spinning without ever finishing. There are no error messages. The "Force Quit" menu shows nothing unusual.
It is impossible to print using any of the "Adobe PDF Settings" options—such as "Press Quality," "High Quality Print," etc.
A friend tried printing the file from an older version of InDesign on a PC, and the document printed correctly and quickly using any of the PDF output settings.
