    1. Don't use EPS, use PDF/X-4 instead. EPS is from a past millennium.

    2. Don't print to PDF, export as PDF.

    The OP has tried Exporting and Printing postscript, and both are failing (even a PDF/X-4 Export). I think the log file is coming from the failed print version, and seems to indicate the bad page is 135

    The OP wrote that EPS were imported. Those EPS should be avoided. I am sure, if PDFs would be used, the other problems disappear.

    Hi, PDFX4 didn't work either unfortunately. (See attached)

    Third time I'm asking this: Is it just this file or all files?

    What version of InDesign? What operating system? What are your export settings? Is it one file or all files?

    Bob, thank you very much for your quick reply. We have an important deadline and this is really bugging me.

    We run Win 10 enterprise, Adobe Creative Cloud CC 2019

    The Export settling are the default within In-design i.e Adobe PDF presets High res or Low res

    Try PDF/X-4. If that fails, too, please answer the question about whether it's this file or all files.
