Hello, I am trying to convert some eps of DIN A4 format pages with only text in pdf using Distiller, the fact is that in some eps it gives me an error.
I generate the eps from Illustrator with these options.
There are only two fonts, which just in case are the ones that cause the error, I outline them; still, I still get the error: %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

Why don't you just save as PDF from Illustrator?

If I want to generate a pdf with several pages, especially if the pages contain images, the file size becomes smaller if I first export to eps and then put it into Distiller (which makes it easier to share). Maybe I'm wrong and it doesn't make any sense nowadays, I learned it 10 years ago. I do it out of habit.

I am sure if you turn off Illustrator editing capabilities it will reduce the filesize a lot. And there is a lot to gain with compression settings.
Always close the file after a save as PDF to avoid continuing working in the PDF instead of the .ai file.

I agree, this is not a good way to make PDF from Illustrator. But... if you'd like an opinion on the error, please post the whole log - you haven't included the actual error message.
