System rebuild - can not print book

[Pete Rourke]

Thanks William, 

I looked through the master pages, they were all clean as well.

So I printed each of the individual 23 files in the book to PDF, without one
hiccup. So I have a feeling the guilty file is book file. 

So I'm thinking of assembling all of the 23 files, and importing them into a
new book. 

Does that sound sensible?

Thanks again

Pete

Additional suggestions:

Check all the text frames on the master pages for PostScript toggling as
well.

Try searching for "Rect" to see if that can help find the offending object
(body 
and master pages).

Try printing to postscript (Print to File...[schmoo.ps]) and then distilling
in 
a separate step. This might help narrow down where the problem is coming in.

Finally, I would recommend checking the source document's PDF Setup
settings. I 
have seen some bizarre cruft sneak in there under the radar while making
changes 
to new machines or new doc templates.

I am running short of ideas here...I thought my last suggestion would get
it. Oh 
well. Good luck with this even if I turn out to be no help after all...
