Dear Alx,
I almost never use pdf. Can't help with that.
In my case Win10 was already behaving bad since at least January 2016. I had, noticeably, the problem on my laptop, but not on the desktop (or the other way around). Got lots of headaches because of that.
But what I want to say, is that the problem is out there since a while (2 years?) and what drove me nuts at the time, was that not all exports failed, only a (high) fraction.
No idea who's to blame for this, Win or IDL.

Good luck with the pdf!
Cheers,
Helder
