single page Quark ps ok, multiple page ps won't distill

[nuance_design@adobeforums.com]

I'm trying to speed up my process making high-res single page pdfs for my printer by printing one large pdf then ripping it into single pages using an aftermarket program.

Single pages will print fine, but multiples are causing Distiller to either refuse to work "cannot process job", or distill some then error out and flush the document.

I am on OS 10.3.9, quark 6.5

I have some pdf files made by Indesign and some by illustrator, along with the usual tif & eps files.

It seems like it can't handle the large file size even if I break it down to 10 pages or so.

any suggestions?

Weird, I just tried doing two magazines that were giving me problems yesterday and they worked fine.

I'm wondering if it was a quark thing? Quark had crashed this morning so it was re-started before I did these mags.

I can't think of anything else, as I don't power down the computer at night.

I'll try another one later & see if I can duplicate the problem.
