Distiller Printing Error

[Daniel Doornbos]

Hi Don,

I haven't had one of these problems in a long time.

When output problems arise, I start by making a copy of the project.
Then, in the copy, I delete the suspect page and distill the file again.
As Rick Quatro pointed out in a separate message, page 85, not 59, is
the primary suspect. Watch the Distiller output carefully for clues.

Once you identify the problem page, make a small adjustment on that
page, such as deleting an imported graphic, and then try again to
distill. Keep doing that until you find the specific component on the
page that is causing the problem.

On the other hand, it may be that there is some kind of corruption in
the file that is not related to your material. To find out, copy your
material to a new file and try distilling the new file. If the new file
distills correctly, the original file was corrupted and your material
was OK.

Wishing you success,

Daniel Doornbos

Hi, Everyone!

Been away for awhile, since my work on my door fixing book was complete,
and I had successfully created two different PDF versions with no
glitches.

But alas, I have revised a certain section and attempted to create new
PDF's with failed results.

During PDF generation, as Distiller works diligently through the pages,
it suddenly comes upon pg. 84 and types the message: %%[ Error:
undefinedresource; OffendingCommand: findresource ]%%. Following this,
it flushes the project and quits.

Subtracting my TOC & preface pages (which are Roman Numerals) I judge
the offending page to be text #59. There are no unresolved cross
references or, so far as I can see, dangling data anywhere on the pages
on either side of the offending page. And, so far as I know, there is no
way to search for an "undefined resource."

What is most baffling is that this problem occurs in a part of the book
that was untouched by the revisions. Granted, I have migrated to a new
computer before attempting this revision. But so far as I know, all the
files from the previous subdirectories have been brought into the new
hard drive. The one illustration on the page is referred from the
correct source, and all markers and cross refs seem properly placed and
functioning.

Needless to say I'm baffled by this and extremely frustrated. Suddenly
the self-publisher can't self-publish.

Any suggestions from any of you brilliant folks would be humbly
appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.
