"The document could not be saved. A number is out of range."

I am working in Acrobat 7 Professional for Mac and am an experience user...

I have never seen this error, nor have any of my co-workers. I have Googled it to no avail, nor can I find anything on this forum.

What PDF file did you have open? How was it created? What were you doing when you got that message?

dear diane
i had this error very early on ...
if i recall this is a preferences choice ...
telling you that you have more pages in your document then you have it
set to crunch on...
i am at a computer that does not have acrobat on it so i cant call up
preferences to check the exact place...
i set mine on a ridiculous 5 or 6 hundred pages ... just cause
run through the preferences and look at every drop down option and each
and every check box...
this will lead you to the answer...
good luck yours

I work for a publishing company. I am working on a multi-chapter high resolution pdf - this error appears when I try to reduce the file size ( using that command in the file menu). It is not an extreme file in any way - size, number of pages, etc.

I do this 20 times a day and I have never seen this error.

It means that something in the PDF is not correct according to the PDF Specification. if you can, recreate the PDF.

I seem to recall this error coming from some QuarkXPress files. Recreate the PDF as Leonard says.
