[Hidden-tech] PDF creation problem from Mac

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Stacy,

Just a couple of quick thoughts, before running out for the day...

You could try breaking the file up into three (or four) separate files and try to print to PDF. Then you could re-combine the files in Acrobat Pro.

Is it possible that there might be some illustration or diagram in the latter part of the document whose formatting is causing this? 

I know that when I run into problems in Quark documents, the fix sometimes comes in reviewing the formatting of the illustrations/diagrams which have been imported into the document. Could be a font issue in one of them.

Good luck.

Best,
Kimo
