Sporadically missing pdf-elements in pdf-export

Question

We have had and have a problem in Indesign CS5 and now IndesignCC for years.

The problem occurs rarely, time by time, it is not replicable.

Operating System, Windows 7, different users, different workstations

The problem:

The documents content one ore more pdf-elements. When exporting to pdf, one or more of the elements are lacking in th created pdf.

When repeating the same export without any change (no restart, same settings etc.), the created pdf is complete.

The elements and documents are loaded and written to/from samba-netshares from different places in a WAN.

The speed of the network seems to have influence: the slower the line, the more frequent the occurance.

Any ideas or same experiences?

You almost nailed the right answer yourself:

The next statement should be:

keep linked stuff locally - no missing elements.

That's it.
