    Default HELP - PDFs Poop Out

    I'm running InDesign 2.02 on a PC running Windows 2000.

    I have a 26 page InDesign document that does something strange when I go to export it as a PDF.

    If I export it at "screen" resolution, it exports fine.

    If I try to export it at "print" or "press," it won't work. By the time it gets processing page 5 of 26 pages, the progress bar is half way filled in, and when it gets to page 11 of 26, the progress bar shoots to the end and the export process ends and the progress dialog just disappears. The PDF file is not formed at all.

    I have tried printing to the distiller and all I get is an error message saying that the file will print ASCII and EPS files won't appear.

    Any suggestions?

    The hi res PDF export process works well on smaller documents and had exported this 26 page document at Press resolution once before no problem.

    Sounds like something is corrupt on page 11. Try printing 1-10 and
    12-26. Try page 11 on its own.

    If it's only 11, then start pulling things off the page one at a time
    til it prints. That will give you the culprit.

    Have also your HDD free space checked and defragmented. No harm making sure
