2. Re: Cannot Save PDF Due To Program Error
StoneChameleon Sep 2, 2011 2:43 PM (in response to StoneChameleon)Well, this is an entire year later, but I hate posts with no resolved answer.
The problem actually turned out to be a corrupted font I was using in the PDF. Somehow, the font was corrupted while I was working or I switched to a new font that was already corrupted: Either way, it was a bad font causing the save errors.

StoneChameleon Sep 2, 2011 2:46 PM (in response to StoneChameleon)I mean, it was a corrupt font I was using in the PSD that wouldn't let me export to PDF.

Chris Cox Sep 2, 2011 3:32 PM (in response to StoneChameleon)Well, that would explain why nobody else could reproduce the problem.
Of course, we'd love to get a sample of the document and font that caused the problem.

6. Re: Cannot Save PDF Due To Program Error
StoneChameleon Sep 2, 2011 4:10 PM (in response to Chris Cox)I believe I still have the PSD, it was for a school assignment. At least, I know I posted the original question for an assignment PSD that was giving me troubles and I only have one assignment PSD from that day, so I'm assuming it's the one.
As for the font... I couldn't say for certain now.
I want to say it was Zenda (free font) or an Adobe-something font I was using and ended up disabling, because I've had a few problems from the Adobe installed fonts. Still, I'm pretty set on Zenda being the culprit at the time, though.

shanishalgi Oct 7, 2011 8:24 AM (in response to Chris Cox)I had the exact same problem and this post solved it (thank you StoneChameleon!). I rendered the fonts and then the file could be saved. However this is definately not an optimal solution. If you want I can send the file/font for checking.

Bill Hunt Oct 9, 2011 11:34 AM (in response to StoneChameleon)PS is very sensitive to fonts. It's not just a corrupt font, but some that PS does not like, and probably because of the way they are written. Also, there are some, that work in some other programs, that will not display properly in PS. I have found variations of the Isabelle and Isabella fonts (different foundries), that just do not display in PS. Adobe Premiere's (video editing program's) Titler is even more sensitive to the fonts, than PS. So, even a font that is not corrupt, and works in some other programs, it just might not work (or display) in PS.
Over the years, we've gathered a few fonts that crash Titler. Those are the first ones that we ask a user, if they are installed. However, with so many foundries (and self-created), and fonts, the list can never be complete.
Good luck, and glad that you found the culprit.
Hunt
