Question

Stopped creating pdfs. Sort of.

Hello

I am using FM 10, Acrobat X Pro, Windows XP.

Everything was working fine and then yesterday I started having a problem producing a pdf.

It has started building a pdf really slowly.  When I build a book it goes through the process of conversion to a ps file, but the end product is a file of 0 kb.

Using a 3rd party piece of software, I can pdf individual files, but not multiple selected files from a book.

For some reason, if I cancel the book build, it comes up with the 'Cannot Print Some Images....' warning.

I'm beginning to panic as I've reinstalled FM and it's still doing the same thing.

Any ideas?

EDIT: It will print to paper just fine.

Bowen,

• do you use FM 10.0.1?

• are you printing to file with subsequent Distiller or Save as PDF?

• if you use Save as PDF, is "Convert CMYK to RGB" selected?

• have you checked your Temp folder, it should not contains thousands of old files.

10.0.1.408

• are you printing to file with subsequent Distiller or Save as PDF?

I've tried both.  Save as PDF produces the PS file a lot quicker, but the produced file is still 0 kb

• if you use Save as PDF, is "Convert CMYK to RGB" selected?

Yes

• have you checked your Temp folder, it should not contains thousands of old files.

Are we talking the Windows temp folder?  I've just emptied it and tried it again; same thing.

In further stunning developments, it will create a pdf by printing to Foxit PDF Creator.

How annoying
