I am updating a manual with some older images, over 1,000 photos and images in the document. No broken links, etc. When I try to save the file as either a book to package or even an interactive PDF, I get the following message: 'Error encountered while reading TIFF image. Image ma be damaged or incompatible. Resave with image with different settings and try again.' With hundreds of tifs in this document, I don't know which one would be causing it. Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

There is a quicker way 😉

Export your document as JPEGs - it should trigger the same error - then on the page after last exported JPEG is your problematic TIFF.

Set low output resolution to speed up the process 😉

Try exporting different page ranges to isolate the image.

Export half the document. If it's okay do the other half. Keep doing this until you find the bad page.
