In trying to export 2 of my drawing, from SU Layout 2020 (out of a pack of 15) are being flagged up as corrupted.

I have reinstalled the software as administrator with no effect.

Any ideas please?

What application is flagging the PDFs as corrupted?

Could it be a font you are using in your LO document. There are some that don’t seem to be supported by Adobe.

Thanks Dave,

Foxit PDF. The other 13 drawings, which used the same font, were okay.

Ill try downloading an alternative PDF reader.

Hi Dave.

I made Microsoft Edge as the default PDF reader and the problem was solved.

Many thanks.

So it sounds like Foxit is corrupted?

Glad you got it sorted.
