The exact message it prints out (wrong linebreaks) is: ERROR: undefinedresult OFFENDING COMMAND: itransform STACK: 2380.1 3366.1 I've already accepted the error and offending command specifications are too general to be of any help.

Postscript, the technology behind PDFs, is a programming language in its own right. But unless you are a programmer who understands Postscript, that will do little to help troubleshoot the error. I would say that something happened when the PDF was being created, some odd transformation that the Postscript driver had a hard time understanding, either because the complexity of the effect or there could have been a bug in the driver that created the PDF, that is in turn causing the printer driver to have a hard time. One workaround that sometimes works is, in Acrobat, go to the Advanced settings in the Print window and select "Print as image." Either way, you will have to troubleshoot your original document (if you can) to see if there is something odd you can clean up before making another PDF. share|improve this answer answered Feb 6 '13 at 13:43 Philip Regan 4,25821323 2 You can sometimes narrow the issue down to an individual object by printing pages one at a time, then removing items from the page until the issue no longer exists. –e100 Feb 6
05:42:21 sarada Registered: Jun 20 2007 Posts: 7 Hi, I am trying to convert a few excel sheets to PDF from VBA. These sheets has print size reduced to 75%. I am doing this using VBA. I get the following error in the log %%[ Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: ) ]%% %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% I changed many things and got it working. But When closed down excel and restarted again, it failed. Can anyone please help me out. Thanks Top 2007-06-20 07:07:29 #1 gkaiseril Registered: Feb 23 2006 Posts: 4307 It looks like you trying to print the Excel file directly with the Distiller program. This will not work. Distiller can only process PostScript input files and output PDF files. Adobe provides the PDF Maker macro within the MS Office products to convert MS Office products outputs to PS files and then passes that file to Distiller. You can either call the PDF Maker macro or create a PS file from the MS Office product and then distill that file.
