[Hidden-tech] PDF creation problem from Mac

[Greg Caulton]

Stacy:
Try saving page 68 only as a PDF. If it works it confirms you have a problem on page 67 ( if not, try page 69, 70, etc until you are successful). Try removing all images and previously unused fonts from page 67 then attempt to make a PDF of page 67 only. If that works, add back in one element at a time, attempt making the PDF until it doesn't work -- voila, you have your culprit.
Good luck!
