Errors in creating PDFS. Version 4 ICC Profiles were converted to Version 2 Error encountered while reading tiff image.

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.

    Hello @nicoles45565553


    I hope you are doing well, and we're sorry for the trouble you had.


    This seems to be an InDesign export / linked asset / Book workflow issue rather than an Acrobat issue. Acrobat is only opening the PDF after export; the warnings are being generated while InDesign is creating the PDF. You may contact the InDesign community team, and the product experts will be able to assist you on this.


    Please feel free to reach out if you need any assistance related to the Acrobat.


    Regards,

    Anand Sri.
