I need help on this. I keep getting this error. I'm sending bulk certificates to people.
You may get this error when you try to export to PDF in Word 2016: "Export failed due to an unexpected error."
This can occur when the Table of Contents page has a different orientation than the content.
STATUS: WORKAROUND
Our engineering team is working on a fix. In the meantime, you can try one of the following workarounds:
In your Word document, go to File > Print and choose the Microsoft Print to PDF option.
Upload your document to OneDrive, open it in Word for the web and then click on File > Save As > Download as PDF.
Use one of the free 3rd party PDF converters that install themselves as printers.
This may help you,

Got it! It worked now. Thanks.
You are evidently saving the word document as a .doc rather than a .docx. .DOC files are binary while .DOCX files are XML. The converter can't handle the older binary format.
