a PostScript error Applies to : Illustrator InDesign PageMaker Photoshop PostScript printer drivers You can receive a PostScript error when sending a file to a PostScript interpreter (for example, a printer, Acrobat %%[ warning: postscript error. no pdf file produced. ] %% Distiller). A PostScript error occurs when the PostScript interpreter can't read the file's

PostScript code. An error can also occur if the file's PostScript code exceeds one or more of the limits error invalidfileaccess offendingcommand showpage in the PostScript page description language. If your PostScript interpreter appears to process data but then stops, a PostScript error could have occurred.A PostScript error message includes a PostScript error type, which defines
%%[ Productname: Distiller ]%%
the type of error it is. It also includes an offending command, which usually indicates the specific part of the PostScript code that the interpreter couldn't read. The offending command usually indicates the command that caused the problem. Some PostScript errors point you right to the cause of the problem, and some get you looking in the right direction.Example of a PostScript error:%%[Error: ; OffendingCommand: ]%%For error undefined offending command example, the PostScript error %%[Error: dictfull; OffendingCommand: def ]%% contains the PostScript error type "dictfull" and the offending command "def." The error type indicates that the dictionary contains the maximum number of entries. The offending command is the last command the PostScript interpreter tried to process, "def," which defines a new word in the dictionary.

Re: Distiller error paulaj60 May 14, 2009 8:56 AM (in response to Steve Cordero) I was able to find someone to look at the postscript file and it appears tobe trying to read a fand 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 ]%% Stack: [46 92 48 48 76 http://blog.baroan.com/2012/02/adobe-distiller-error-offendingcommand.html 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 7 to create a PDF of your document and the process crashed, offending command 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 the fonts contained in the document. The following is a similar error that may occur: %%[ ProductName: Distiller error undefined offending ]%% %%[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.
