Having Packaging Issues

[Tricia_Schneberger@adobeforums.com]

Trying to package a newsletter we just finished. It comes up with errors for the linked graphics but they are all linked so I don't understand the problem. So I continue to package and I get the error "Cannot copy necessary linked file(s)." Searched the knowledgebase and found a solution that maybe the targeted disk does not have enough disk space and troubleshooted that and found that was not the issue - tried packaging to a 40gb drive that is empty and still received errors.

I tried packaging a table tent that I had done previously and received that same linked graphics errors but it was able to package anyway.

What am I doing wrong?

Did you by any chance delete or rename the instructions.txt file?

Sure didn't

What version of ID? Do you have any problems when trying to export a PDF?

We are using InDesign CS 3.0.1

Just did some testing and results are as follows:

Deleted last page and file packaged fine (still had errors, but it packaged)
then
Deleted first page and file did not package, received same errors as before.
then
Deleted all pages keeping the last page and file did not package, received same errors as before.

analyzed the last page that seems to be causing the problem and I think I might have copied and pasted a piece of clip art (as is what used to be done while using PageMaker) rather than linking - could that be the issue?

Regarding exporting to pdf - Do not experience any problems.

But shouldn't have been. Glad you got it sorted.
