  • Export to PDF results in “background task” error

    Posted by Janet Holmes on July 23, 2012 at 2:38 pm

    Never had this happen before — exporting from InDesign CS5.5 to Adobe PDF causes this error message:

    “1 problem (1 failure) was found with a background task:

    Export [filename]”

    I don’t have a clue what actually happened or how to resolve it. Any help? The file itself is not terribly complicated, save for a lot of font changes.

    Make the PDF again and see if you can click on the error message. It should give you a description of the error.
