Okay, I found those PDF Export Options - I had to create a Layout Template first, and then if I use the export to PDF it is successful, but TBH my template is blank and I am not sure how to bring things from my map into the template to print to PDF from there.
If I go back to the map screen and export the map, it is still exporting as a static unlayered image.</div>

<div>Hi Jamie,<br>
<br>
There are several tastes of pdf...<br>
<br>
One of them is 'GeoPDF', a layered pdf, which you can create if you create a layout first in QGIS and then export that to pdf.<br>
For the options see: <a href="https://us-east-2.protection.sophos.com?d=duif.net&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWlmLm5ldC9wZGZvcHRpb25zLnBuZw==&i=NjQ5Mzg2NjJmZjkyMWQxZWJjMzdlZTIy&t=c1doNm4vaE9oZ2EwTGVVWVZVU2JmZlJZd3luTWVjK05VbE90L2Z2ekxuUT0=&h=c3813583a6ac458e9b68ca37023b1fee&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVbQ7Gfw17B4TVr-pQzE51zlED6SQ6KUI3my4CFDYCiGSw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">

I've exported a simple map of two layers to: <a href="https://us-east-2.protection.sophos.com?d=duif.net&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWlmLm5ldC9ubC5wZGY=&i=NjQ5Mzg2NjJmZjkyMWQxZWJjMzdlZTIy&t=cG1MR0tOOVBiRU05Y3NPUUJiY2trK29veExXbDBXdHNNYVQ3WFgxbjRxTT0=&h=c3813583a6ac458e9b68ca37023b1fee&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVbQ7Gfw17B4TVr-pQzE51zlED6SQ6KUI3my4CFDYCiGSw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">

In most pdf viewers you can check/uncheck both layers, AND you can 'identify' objects there.<br>
<br>
Can you check if that is what can be handled by your tools?<br>
<br>

which works! However, when I bring the map into Adobe Pro, none of the separate layers show up and it's just a static PDF image.<br>
