“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
