Hi. I am using the latest version of Pages.

I'm having a problem that just started today:

When I try to Export a Pages document as a PDF, I see the little 
progress bar but nothing happens. It's not exporting and I have to 
force quit Pages.

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks,

Sky

Can you print to PDF (as a work around)?

other things to check...

does this behavior survive reboots (e.g. it happens consistantly right 
after you reboot)?

does this behavior happen all documents or just one?

does this behavior happen from another non-admin user?

If you remove all but the basic MacOS X fonts that come with the system, 
does the problem still exist?

I had PDF/Preview trouble with Pages on a family member's system.
Deleting Preview's prefs solved it. Anyway - I'd try this in the guest
user account (configure login and fast user switching in Apple
Menu->System Preferences…, Accounts tab), and if it doesn't happen
there, try deleting the prefs of your misbehaving apps. It's not like
Pages has many setting to recreate :-)

However if the problem happens in your guest account something the PDF
process in Pages and possibly others apps is likely corrupted. My first
suspect is a font especially if you've more than just the default ones.
