Error when trying to export Paper docs to .pdf files in Chrome

Trying to save older paper docs to PDF for archiving - have tried several time and the export to PDF keeps failing and telling me to 'try again later'.
What's going on? When's it going to work?
Okay - never did figure out why this didn't work for me. Also tried on a windows machine, in a third browser (edge) to no avail. Maybe worth mentioning that this files were larger (~10-12 MB), but it seemed to fail on files half that size too. Maybe something to do with my account - who knows.
Worked around this by printing the files, and saving them to PDF that way. Should any other unfortunate mention this odd and annoying bug, you can save them aggravation by recommending this simple workaround.
Moving away from paper, as you might also be doing, given that you're end-of-life-ing the mobile apps.
