Internal error 15044 when trying to convert a frame document to PDF

I'm trying to save a fm file to pdf and it keeps crashing and I get the "internal error 15044" before framemaker crashes. When I scroll to the page the pdf conversion crashes on 29-30/104, framemaker crashes as well. There is an imported file on the page but it crashes before I can see what it is. I recently installed 2019 and had been working on 2017. I believe there were issues with this particular frame when converting to pdf in 2017 but it didn't crash when loading. Any guidance?

A MIF-wash is the process of saving the FM file as a MIF, then opening the .mif version and re-saving it as the binary .fm file. This is quite simple, but for a book with many files it gets tedious fast. So there's a Book MIF Wash utility included in FM now - see https://helpx.adobe.com/framemaker/kb/how-to-use-mifwash-utility-in-framemaker.html

Are you all patched up? Check Help > Updates to check. If you still keep crashing, try MIF-washing your FM docs. If that still doesn't help, you're going to need to work with a copy of the FM docs to remove the offending page(s) and then see about what's wrong with them that cause you to crash.

Thank you for your help! I did need to update. I ended up finding and deleting the image and then reimporting it without issue.
