    This still isn't fixed. It doesn't fail all the time, but every now and then for no known reason Indesign will just toss an error and fail to generate/overwrite for an existing PDF. The messaging isn't very helpful either... it just says "failed to generate PDF."

    Annoying it also destroys the original file in the process... the file simply "vanishes"... not in the trash. It's as though the file ceased to exist entirely. Super annoying.
