OneNote Export Sections to PDF 0KB, We can't open this file, Something went wrong

Question:
I am using the OneNote application on Windows, and I have been exporting each section of a specific notebook to my computer as a PDF file. I’ve been able to export every single section except for two.
I’m able to click export and OneNote then appears to be exporting it, but the file itself doesn’t actually appear on my computer, and when it does, the PDF is 0KB and “We can't open this file”.
These two sections are not noticeably larger than any of the other sections from what I can tell.
I’ve already tried copying the section to a new notebook and exporting it (same result).
How to fix it?
