Hi Bill, I've seen this type of error before, and it can be a pain to get rid of. What I do to find the cause of the error: 1. copy only the offending pages to a new FM file. 2. try creating a PDF of this file. 3. If step 2 fails: remove one item from the file (one image, or

This is an error in the Postscript code. There are a few things to check/try: 1. check page 17 and 18. Are there any Postscript, EPS, Illustrator or PDF objects on these pages? The problem could be caused by a corrupt image. 2. Choose another printer driver, then try creating the PDF
