Layout Export - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Question

Hi All -

I have a project with both a 2D map and a 3D scene in ArcGIS Pro (2.6.1).  The project also contains several layouts, each of which contains a single map frame referencing the 2D map.  When I attempt to export the layout as either a PDF or image file (i.e. TIFF, JPG, PNG, etc.), I receive the following error dialogue box:

"Object reference not set to an instance of the object."

Upon acknowledging the dialogue box the Export Layout panel states "Export Failed" in red; however, no additional information or error code is provided.

I've tried adding / deleting layouts with no success.

Any thoughts on what is causing the error?

Same issue here, months later. My layout is very simple, but it's pulling data from a feature service- could the issue be rooted in a "faulty" attribute expression somewhere?

Hi, I am also experiencing the same problem and need it resolved. Did you OperatorOWA manage to solve the issue or should I contact the support?
