I have 16 pages of a magazine that has to be convertd to PDF so my printer can print 5000 copies But when I go to export it pagemaker locks up after the PDF box is displayed, I do have a full version of acrobat 5.0 with Distiller. How do I convert to PDF?
I am using windows XP pro, There was no error message at all except that windows was closing down, when I
Installed Acrobat 5.0 I made sure I did a custom install and chequed off distiller, I just checked it has the post script printer 3011.104

hi BigJohnD,
I forgot to tell you that initially I had 16 pages of text and graphics but I reduced it to one(1) page and it still will not save to a PS file. Oh, yes prior to reducing the number of pages it would just crash. Could there be something wrong with my copy? of pagemaker
Seems to me you now need to examine your document.
Have you followed everything listed below?
[ol]
[li]Your compose to printer is "Acrobat Distiller" ( or a variation);[/li]
[li]You are only using *.PSD, *.TIF or *.EPS graphic formats - there are no metafiles, *JPG or *.GIF;[/li]
[li]You have not used Insert Object or Paste Special (e.g. WordArt, Excel Chart);[/li]
[li]You have used not Copy and Paste to import a graphic into PM: you have used only File -> Place;[/li]
[li]Your PM file or linked graphics are all on a local drive(i.e. not on a file server nor on removable media (e.g. CD-ROM)). [/li]
[li]Your "Acrobat" Style is correct (if in doubt, delete it - PM will recreate it) [/li]
[li]You have not used a character in your path/filename which Distiller objects to, for instance a space or comma. The failsafe route is the old DOS 8.3 format - e.g. C:\pdfs\myfile.pdf. [/li]
[li]Finally, have your tried the two stage process - create the PS file, and then load up Distiller to convert it to a PDF?[/li][/ol]
