I want to make just this one google doc “available offline” so I can make edits without internet (flying this weekend and don’t trust plane wifi to work).

When I go to do so (file > make available offline), a popup appears that says “turn on offline for all files? Turn on offline to access files without an internet connection. Not recommended on public or shared computers.”

I don’t wanna save every single document to my computer to make available offline (seems like a storage issue?). Does this popup mean it’ll make ALL of my docs available offline?? If so, how do I just make ONE doc available offline??

I have a 200-page google doc I've been working on as a side hobby for five years. I've downloaded it as a PDF hundreds of times, and as recently as last month, and never had problems (it exports as a 32 mb pdf file).

Except today when it suddenly stopped working.

I didn't add any huge images or anything that would make it significantly bigger. Also, I can export other Google Docs in my drive. Just not the one I've been working on forever and filled with internal hyperlinks that don't export via print-to-pdf and other workarounds....

Making a copy doesn't work, and neither does copy and pasting the whole thing into a new file. I also tried going back to a previous version from months ago and I couldn't export that either. It makes me think something is corrupted.

Can someone tell me I'm being crazy and I just need to wait for whatever bug this is to resolve naturally in the cloud?
