Pagemaker 6.5 and Distiller 3 colour pdf file creation

[CharlieBell]

I'm trying to convert a pagemaker file with colour images into a pdf.

I'm using export to pdf command.
My first attempt resulted in distiller producing a setcolor error.
I then tried it with the proof box selected - I got black and white images but no text.
I then removed the first colour image and tried again. I got the text and colour images all in black and white.

Does anyone have any ideas as I seem to be going around in circles?

I've just subscribed to this forum and complete pagemaker novice user would be a much better description of me but that category didn't exist.

Thanks

Rather than exporting, try the two step method of making a PDF. (1) make a postscript file of the PM doc by printing 'to file' after choosing Distiller (or another postscript printer) as your printer. (2) Launch Distiller, open the postscript file and distill to PDF.

I tried printing then distilling but distiller still produced the same setcolor error.

Eventually I found a document on the adobe site that suggested you should use file/place rather than edit/insert when putting colour images in a document. I didn't produce the document but I suspect the creater copied and pasted the images. So I removed all the images and file/placed them all back in and it worked.

Thanks for all your help

Yes, that's the reliable way.
