Hello there,

 

When I am trying to export my indesign file to pdf I had this error message and stopped exporting.

The error message stated that;

"An error occurred while reading the JPEG image. Image files may or may not be incompatible. Reload the image with different settings and try again"

 

In my case there are lots of jpeg image and which one incompatible I cannot know.

Is there any solution for this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Export half of the file. If it's OK, the problem is in the other half. If it's not, the problem is int this half part. Repeat the process until you find the problematic picture.

Find the problematic image. Open the image in Photoshop and save it with a new name and replace the old one in InDesign. If this does not help, save the image as PSD or TIFF and replace the old image with that file.

 

To find the problematic image do so as jmlevy has described.

The problem is finding problematic images. The error message does not include the name of the image.
But I fixed it with the suggestion of jmlevy. Thank you for your answer.

There is an quicker way - Export as single pages - next page after last exported is the one you are looking for.
