Do you get some sort of error message when you try to export as a PDF? It worked fine for me. Here’s a screen grab from Adobe Reader.
Hi Dave, thanks for your quick reply. I’m by no means a computer expert, so please bare with me. This is the error that I get.

I’m also not able to export a file from Sketchup as a PDF image.
Try exporting to the Desktop instead of your One Drive cloud storage.
No luck…

Do you get a new error message?
How about trying what I wrote? Export the PDF to your desktop.
Maybe @colin can shed some light on it.
I can also export to PDF without problems.
Is the D: drive truly local to your computer, or is it, too, redirected to some network location “under the hood”?
There might be a font problem. When I try to edit some of your text boxes I get a missing font warning about “Arial-Black”. My system shows a font name that doesn’t contain the hyphen. My system substitutes it apparently with Verdana.
Thanks for your reply. I’ve taken just a block without text and tried to export that without any luck.
As far as the D: drive, I’ll have to consult with my IT expert as I’m not a computer expert.
Will revert back shortly.
Can someone help me please, i have homework on layout but i can’t export my file to pdf
Please i really need quick help.
If the problem is that it’s taking a long time, check File/Document Setup…/Rendering, and see if the override checkbox is checked. Uncheck that and try again.

If what Colin suggests doesn’t get you sorted out, share the LayOut file so we can see it and have some hope of helping you.

hi i got same problem now. i caI’m currently experiencing the same issue. I’m unable to export pdf file in the layout.
It seems unusual to have a folder named Mirosoft Edge Downloads. Can you try exporting to other folders, your Documents folder for example.
I am also unable to print or export a Layout file (73 MB due to photos) as pdf.
What happens when you try to export to PDF?
Still using SketchUp and LayOut 2021 on Mac 10.14.6 as your profile says?
Have you tried exporting just one page to PDF? Will that work?
I’d bet my lunch money that at least some of your images could be reduced in size to be more practical.
Share the file so we can see what you are working with.
When exporting or printing to pdf - I get spinning basketball. I have quit & restarted, to no avail.
I’m now using 23.1.1341.
Upon opening file, I get message, “the following files have versions that are newer than those in this document”. I select “OK”.
I just tried to export and spinning basketball shows it’s ugly face. I cannot get to just one page. I will try duplicating the file, removing all pages except one and try to export.
I have also reduced the photographs from 5 MB to less than 1.
Unable to share the 73 MB fiile. Tery this Dropbox link. Dropbox
Thank you Dave
