I was helping someone and both export and print to pdf each messed up different minute aspects of the design/layout. I don’t remember what exactly it was tho sorrx
Output corruption sometimes persists across all different modes of printing/exporting. Some lines in Word starting to go vertical for no reason is one I encountered a lot, the other is Excel insisting on making every cell it’s own list, and it’s usually fixable only by force rebuilding the file container by saving as another doc/docx type, pushing Word to make it from the scratch and drop traces of accumulated file corruption. Funny enough, some of these bugs can’t be reproduced if opened in Libre, that made me prefer it, when applicable, a long time ago.
Could you expand on that, I’m curious because export to PDF has always worked flawlessly for me.

Depends on the application. Print to PDF always produces the output as seen on screen, though without things like fillable fields.

Unless you change print options of course, depending on what you’re trying to accomplish it can get really weird.
