Images missing when creating a pdf from indesign

I create a 42 page pdf and images are missing.  The error is “Version 4 ICC profiles were converted to Version 2 ICC profiles during pdf export.  Error encountered while ready tiff image.”  

The indesign file is a file linked with other indesign files.  No error occurs when creating pdfs individually from each of the indesign files, so images are not damaged.

Is it a indesign glitch or a acrobat glitch.  We have been creating pdfs this way for years and it recently became a issue.

Is it a indesign glitch or a acrobat glitch.
