Subject:Problem distilling large Frame file (UNIX) From:Mark Dempsey <mxd2 -at- OSI -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 5 Jan 1999 12:33:18 -0800
I've been trying to generate a very large pdf (23M) using Frame 5.5
without much success.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Print to PDF. (Obscure error condition terminates)
2. Print to Postscript (works), then distill to pdf (generates another
obscure error, or a corrupt pdf file).
3. Made all files (literally about 100) MIF, then saved the Miffed files
as Frame files, generated postscript and tried to distill. Same results
as #2.
I've written to Adobe tech support but thought perhaps a list member
might see something I've missed. (BTW, I'm using Solaris 2.6 on a Sun
Ultra-1 to distill).
Here's the error message:
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: L21 ]%%
Stack:
0
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
