All, I could have phrased my question better ... here is another attempt:
I use ConTeXt to generate a PDF for upload using the command "context filename" on either Mac OS X or Ubuntu. I have installed ConTeXt by installing a TeX Live distribution on each platform. The command completes without error on either platform. The PDFs open in Preview (a Mac OS X application for viewing PDFs) and appear to be correct, regardless of on which platform the PDFs were created. However, the upload of the PDF created on Mac OS X fails, while the upload of the PDF created on Ubuntu works. So, there is something different about these two PDFs which I cannot determine by opening them in an application for viewing PDFs. But I do not know what is different, or how to find out. I have posted an archive that illustrates the issue at http://www.synterein.com/lulu_context_issues/lulu_context_issue_01.zip Any and all ideas would be appreciated. Ray.
