<br>
For historical reasons, I'm still on this setup. I reported earlier that the AdobePS printer driver, which I have used without any problem for a great many books and years, now falls over with the message 'The printer description file associated with this printer has caused an error (101)' on *both* Macs - and then FrameMaker crashes. I'm using the Acrobat PPD. This occurs even with a new clean installation of FrameMaker. Nothing significant has changed with the setups. I have therefore abandoned AdopePS.<br>
<br>
So I am using the Apple Laserwriter 8 driver and writing .ps to file. However, I'm getting miscellaneous graphics-related errors that are sending Distiller (6) into a frenzy and an apparent endless loop. The main error appears to be<br>
<br>
'%%[ Error: limitcheck; OffendingCommand: 310E121210182A3E4A674394332E3924051A251C3844423941392F2723241C1B425D5F635D5542392946552021292737454662564D4E4A3B505D6467552B3C3 ]%%<br>
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%'<br>
<br>
after which Distiller goes a bit mad and reports completion figures of thousands of percent.<br>
<br>
I have one offending chapter, and turning the graphics off in that chapter allows the chapter to distill without error. However, if I try the entire book up to that point, I still get errors.<br>
<br>
I'm not looking for someone to fix this, but I'd be most grateful for suggestions for a sensible diagnostic procedure. Maybe isolating the graphics to separate files and trying to create PDFs from them?<br>
<br>
[I do have FrameMaker 10 for Windows, but at present don't have a machine on which to run it.]<br>
