Quark Forums

If you read this you probably already have encountered such a problem: you want to output a PDF and after some minutes working Quark tells you it cannot output the file. And you have no clue given with this.

So here is a tip that might help you troubleshooting that. Simply output the file in seperate PDF's. It shall take much longer but you'll at least get a message on each page that cannot be output so you can jump there after all the pages have been processed and look further on what could be the problem on that page. Sometimes outputting that page again on its own "fixes" the problem.

Gather then all the files in Acrobat.

 Jean-Marie. Just to add something here. I usually print to PS and then Distill to get PDFs. That's where I usually run into indivdual pages causing log files.

I have often found that (once I find the correct page) if I save an EPS of the problem page and Distill that, it works. Why, I don't know, but it does – sometimes.
