1. Re: Print to PDF crashed PPT and generates IOError
Bill@VT May 15, 2009 1:58 PM (in response to ac361)The print is next to the most basic process. The more basic is to print to file and then use Distiller to complete the process. All other processes build on this set of steps. The message that you got is produced by Distiller, so you made it that far. Try printing just 1 page and see if it works. The error messages are difficult to read, but it looks like something happened on p. 3. From my guess, there is an image there it does not like. Bill

3. Re: Print to PDF crashed PPT and generates IOError
ac361 May 15, 2009 2:08 PM (in response to ac361)Thanks. Your suggestion to Print to File was the key, because it gave a more robust error message: It was trying to print using system fonts and not document fonts. Under your printers in Windows, right click Adobe PDF, choose Properties > General tab > Printing Preferences > Make sure the checkbox for "Rely on system fonts; do not use document fonts" is off. It had no trouble printing after that!
Thanks, Bill, for your help. You were instrumental in solving this problem

4. Re: Print to PDF crashed PPT and generates IOError
Bill@VT May 15, 2009 5:36 PM (in response to ac361)OK. The print to file is only needed if the regular print is does not work. When you print, a log file is created that provides the same info that you would have seen in Distiller. If printing to file did it for you, then that is what is needed in the end. Bill
