The error can be caused by numerous things such as missing dictionaries, imported graphics, data corruption, communication problems or missing PostScript header information. General solutions Some offending commands indicate a possible problem with the warning postscript error no pdf file produced driver settings or printer support files. Updating drivers or switching to an alternative driver error undefined offending command stack xerox might solve the problem. You can also try to copy and paste all elements to a new file. If the document error: syntaxerror; offendingcommand: --nostringval-- was converted from a previous version of an application, try printing again from that version. A strange word as an offending command: Sometimes a RIP generates an ‘undefined' PostScript error, with an offending command https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-pdf-printer-failed-to.html ‘bspt' or another randomly chosen kind of technical term like ‘fob' of ‘xtrfx'. Such errors indicate that the RIP tries to execute a command that has not been defined in the PostScript file. In a lot of cases, PostScript error "undefined" issues are caused by incorrect drivers: PostScript drivers that are corrupted or that are vendor-specific (eg you try printing to a Tectronix printer using an HP driver) https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/undefined PPDs that are too old or too new. PPDs that should be used for another device. Some applications that put themselves in-between your application and the RIP can also cause this kind of a problem: try printing without passing through a spooler or OPI-system. Use another imposition software or try to avoid using your trapping software. Sometimes the name of the offending command indicates which application is causing the problem. I remember a customer who by accident had deleted a number of PostScript files from his Preps folder. Subsequently Preps kept generating ‘undefined' errors because its printfiles lacked the necessary code. We found this rather quick because the offending command started with ‘SS' or so, something that we linked to ScenicSoft, the makers of Preps. Specific errors PostScript error undefined offending command D On Macs running Leopard the above error can pop up with a wide range of printers including the HP LaserJet 1200 and HP PSC 1610xi. Installing and using a Gutenprint driver seems to resolve the problem. An alternative solution is to deactivate error reporting, as documented in this procedure on disabling PostScript error reporting.

and turn it into a PDF, did you have the following errors occur? [ %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% XF096CBBC not found, using Courier. %%[ Error: `; OffendingCommand: xshow; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets e ????¤e fonts/Courier ]%% http://blog.baroan.com/2012/02/adobe-distiller-error-offendingcommand.html Stack: [46 92 48 48 76 0] ( ) %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% ] According to this article from the Adobe Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/510096, the errors occurred because the document in question was created on a system using either Windows XP or Windows Vista. If you were using Windows error undefined 7 to create a PDF of your document and the process crashed, that is because Microsoft changed the inner workings of this particular font and all the issues stemmed from that. The solution to this issue is telling Adobe Distiller not to 'Rely on System Fonts only' do not use document fonts.' By doing this, Distiller disregards any of your own fonts and instead works with error undefined offending the fonts contained in the document. The following is a similar error that may occur: %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% %%[Page: 1]%% %%[Page: 2]%% %%[Page: 3]%% %%[Page: 4]%% %%[Page: 5]%% %%[Page: 6]%% %%[Page: 7]%% Cambria not found, using Courier. %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%% Stack: [85 0] ( ) %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% This error can be resolved by changing one of the Adobe PDF printer settings. When you are in the print dialog, and you have selected the appropriate PDF printer, select "Properties." In the dialog box, there should be a tab titled "Adobe PDF Settings," and it should look like the below image. Un-check "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts." This solves the issue for documents created using XP or Vista, then upgraded to Windows 7. The Cambria font somehow gets changed between XP/Vista and Win7. This post will be updated if our help desk finds a situation where this "fix" does not work.
