Distiller 5.0 flushes, can't find fonts?

[Janet_Haynes@adobeforums.com]

Distiller 5.0 on Macintosh - limitcheck; OffendingCommand: findfont

Error message:
Stack:
/Font
/Helvetica
0
1
/_BFontUOThick
false

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

I have already tried re loading the software from the original disk. The distiller used to work, any ideas? Help is appreciated.

Thank you

Maybe you had the same prob i did. Have you tried this?

"One thing to try: go into the font locations and delete ALL locations.
Ok and re-open; it should have added back the folder you just checked.

Make sure
(a) you do not let a font manager loose on the whole disk
(b) you never move distiller to another disk or folder"

I saw that on the list, but have to admit I don't know HOW to go to the font locations.....

Start the Distiller application, look on the menus (can't remember the
exact location in 5.0, but there aren't too many).

Thank you - I found it. Followed the procedure, and now I get a different error message:

%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: distillsave ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

Again, thank you anyone for the help!

thank you everyone - found a reference to problems with Norton AntiVirus. Turned it off and the Distill worked. Guess I have to simply turn AntiVirus off temporarily while creating these files.

Thank you again all.

Or download a fix from Norton...
