    I found a way to save my PDFs after getting the error message, "Failed to Export the PDF file".

    When exporting my interactive PDF, I chose to save it outside of the original folder the InDesign file was located.

    It worked.

    To avoid future issues, I also Saved a Copy of my InDesign file outside of the original folder and created a Package so I would also have all the resources in one new folder.

    Interestingly, when I tried to delete the original folder, I had to enter an administrator password before the folder could be transferred to the Trash.

    I don't know how or why the folder had this type of 'security' on it but perhaps that is why Adobe InDesign could not save the PDF to the original folder.
