Correct answer Daniel29191313odcs

Yeah, the more RAM and sufficient spare hard disk capacity will make a difference to effectively processing large files.

Why did you choose "High Quality Print" for the PDF preset?


Just to make the work look the best with high quality thats all, I just completely underestimated how large the file would be. But its all sorted now 🙂 Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

Hi Daniel – How much RAM and spare hard disk capacity do you have on your system?

Try resetting preferences - or if it won't help - do a clean install:

    As you have what? What is the configuration of your computer? 

     

    Try exporting in smaller chunks. 

     

    How big is your INDD file? Have you been doing only Ctrl+S or Save with a new name to clean your INDD file? 

     

    What is the total size of your linked files?

     

    Try to do a Package of your project And then try to export PDF again from this new location.
