Dear All, I've just come accross the board, and i'm hoping that someone might be able to help me with a problem. I have a book that i'm typesetting. The file is about 328 pages, 6.9, and the indesign file is around 6MB. It is plain text, no graphics.
I don't think you have a bad font. Stastically, the odds of that are on par with getting struck by lighning and attacked by a shark, at the same time, on the beaches of Lake Michigan.
This is about 5 times, what i would expect to see for a book this size. When i try to export it to PDF, the thing always hangs up and takes about 1 hour to write.
Usually, i would expect it to take about 1 minute for a file this size. I've check to see if there are any hidden layers, or transparncies that i might have accidentally inserted, don't find anything unusual. I've also checked to make sure that i didn't convert the text from black into a four color process. I have tried exporting, printing, and converting the file into a PostScript. I've tried contacting Adobe, and they have no useful suggestions. Please please please, does anyone have any thoughts on what might cause this problem?
RE: Problems Exporting from Indesign to PDF (Instructor) 19 Apr 06 15:47. Here is the preflight report.out of interest, make a copy of this indesign file, change the type to one typeface style, a real basic one like courier or something and try exporting again.you could have a corrupt font screwing things up somewhere, fonts can be sensitive things, easily getting corrupted.if this is better on export then a process of elimination may be required as to which font is causing the problem.you preflight report does mention a missing image too, so update that one in the links palette.
