Indesign file won't package

Hi George, please can you send me (again) what to do when Indesign won't export to a PDF file? You said originally "here is a workaround" and I tried it and it worked, but when I click on the link now, it goes somewhere else and not to tthe work around! So annoying....thanks

It packaged fine for me. But since you didn't include the linked files, it was not really a true test. Also, I noticed that your file names have coma in them. Not sure if it is affecting anything, but just as a best practice, you should really avoid any punctuation in your file names. At this point, since it worked for me, I don't have a clear answer. I would try renaming some of those files first and package again. Then if that doesn't work then you are gonna be hunting for the image that is corrupting your pdf process.

Does your InDesign document file contain the entire book you're trying to publish? If so, I would suggest separating the steps:

First package the job with the InDesign document file and all its intrinsic components. Close the originating InDesign document file.

Next, navigate your way to the packaged folder and open the InDesign document file stored inside the packaged folder.

Make a PDF document from the InDesign document file inside the packaged folder.

You may get the same result generating the PDF file, but you will at least have a packaged folder containing all the intrinsic components to forward to someone w2ith industrial-strength equipment to accomplish the job.

You may also try producing bite-sized chunks of pages in multiple PDFs, then bundling them into one piece with Acrobat.

Good luck,

Randy
