I'm having problems relying because I had signed up for Digest (I've changes
that now).
Thanks, Staffan, for the advice. It turns out that the problem was the
formatting of the image which I had cut from a transparent layer in the cover
graphic file; after I deactivated the transparency of the graphic it does not
cause an error when viewing the PDF. The strange thing is that I did produce
one good PDF with this graphic before things started going wrong.
But it still takes too long to produce the PDF (more than 9 hours instead
of less than half and hour) and the resultant PDF is larger than it should be
(150MB rather than 90MB). But if I divide the book into three of four parts I
think I'll be able to print them to PDF and assemble them in somewhere around
an hour, which is still twice as long as it should take but it's better than
nine hours.
