First, I very much appreciate the various on-list and off-list replies.
I'll try a few things myself this evening after getting home (61 miles
each way) regarding the graphics to see what I can do as a speed test.
Second, I just did some minor edits to a series of FM files created by my
coworker and tried to create a pdf of the book. And yep, a big glitch
occurred right near the beginning during distilling. Here's the text from
the log file created by distiller:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[Page: 2]%%
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: pdfmark; ErrorInfo: StOBJ
--nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
/StOBJ
{/StOBJ}
/Obj
-dict-
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
*****************
Notice that distiller gave up the ghost at or after page 2 of the file
during the book printing which should have resulted in a 254-page manual.
I've done a visual check of pages 2 and 3 (the copyright page would be pdf
page 2 and page 1 of the comprehensive TOC would be pdf page 3) and either
there's nothing obviously wrong or I'm blind.
Could someone explain the cryptography from the log file, specifically
line 4 (Error: typecheck . . .) and what follows it?
The Distiller error is related to having Tagged PDF turned on in FrameMaker.
Turn off "Generate Tagged PDF" (Format > Document > PDF Setup, Tags tab, of
from within your Save as PDF / Print dialog box), then try converting to
PDF again.
