but then stops, a PostScript error could have occurred.A PostScript error message includes a PostScript error type, which defines the type of error it is. It also includes an offending command, which usually indicates the specific part error syntax error offending command nostringval 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 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 xerox error undefined offending command stack 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. View or print a PostScript error message If you think a PostScript error has occurred, but it doesn't appear onscreen or in your printout, you can sometimes view or print the error message. Do one or more of the following:Use an error handler utility. For example, Adobe PageMaker has the Include PostScript Error Handler option in the Print Options dialog box.In Windows, configure the printer to print the error message:Note: In Windows NT, you cannot configure a printer to print an error message. Choose one of the following: Start > Settings > Printers (Windows 2000)Start > Printers And Faxes (Windows XP)Start > Control Panel > Printers (Windows Vista, Windows 7) Right-click the printer you are using, and then choose Printer Properties. Select the General tab, select Printing Preferences, and then click Advanced. Expand Document Options, and then expand PostScript Options. Set Send PostScript Error Handler to Yes. If you do not see this option, your printer does not have a PostScript Error Handler.

the Basics section to determine exactly what PostScript error and offending command you got hit with. Then do one of the following (not necessarily in that order but this seems to be the most logical approach to me): https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/tips 1. Try printing one more time Take a deep breath, look through the window during a couple of seconds, check all the parameters in the Print windows and print again. Sometimes a simple mistake like setting https://acrobatusers.com/forum/general-acrobat-topics/acrobat-distiller70indicates-postscript-error-no-pdf-file-produced/ the orientation wrong causes errors. Have a colleague print the job. He or she may instantly see what you did wrong. Everybody makes a stupid mistake once in a while (I once spent 2 hours offending command troubleshooting a ‘broken' Mac, only to find out the keyboard wasn't plugged in properly). This is definitely the first thing to try if no other documents or applications cause similar problems. 2. Cut the print job into smaller pieces Don't print large jobs with many pages or big images in one go. Print a couple of pages at the time or even one single page at the time. This makes error undefined offending it easier for both your computer and the RIP to process the file. Always try this approach if you have an older printer or RIP. 3. Search for solutions for your specific error Look up both the error and offending command in my database of PS errors and offending commands. This may give you a clue as to what to do next. Check out other sites as well by searching the web for pages about the specific PostScript error or offending command. Another alternative is to post your question on the b4print prepress forum. 4. Switch to another computer, app, driver,… Print the job from another computer, from another version or copy of the application used to create the file and try switching drivers. Always print the file to another PostScript device as well. If the same error occurs, you are at least sure the error is somehow related to your document or the way it is created or printed. The reverse is not true: if a document prints on one device but not on another, this does not mean that that device is unreliable or faulty. The inconsistency may be caused by differences in drivers, memory and hard disk capacity, installed fonts,workflow or PostScript revisions. PostScript aims to b
Topics > Acrobat Distiller(7.0)indicates PostScript error: no pdf file produced 2010-06-21 22:38:34 prman Registered: Jun 21 2010 Posts: 4 I created a number of EPS files from the old DOS SCORE program (music typography). When I attempt to convert them to pdf files with Acrobat Distiller, the program doesn't recognize the embedded fonts (Times New Roman) and doesn't convert any of the files. This is strange, for when I open up the Acrobat main window, and drag one of the the EPS files into it, it immediately converts it to a pdf, and substitutes (I guess) a font it likes and uses that. But I have to then convert 34 files manually. How can I tell Distiller to ignore the font(s) it doesn't like and substitute something else, like the Acrobat program? prman Top 2010-06-22 18:21:37 #1 prman Registered: Jun 21 2010 Posts: 4 Where are the Adobe experts that are supposed to help with these questions? prman Top 2010-06-23 07:16:32 #2 gkaiseril Registered: Feb 23 2006 Posts: 4307 Maybe their crystal balls maybe a bit foggy!Any line or statement that is malformed or has a syntax error can create an error. There are many possible errors for any one line. Without the error and additional command line and stack data recorded in the distiller log file, it is very hard to guess the exact cause of the error and how to fix it.Does this happen for all files?[url=http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/328/328515.php]Troubleshoot PostScript errors[/url] Adobe[url=http://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/basics]The basics of PostScript errors[/url] prepressure.com[url=http://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting]Troubleshooting[/url] prepressure.com[url=http://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors]PostScript errors[/url] prepressure.com[url=http://quiteaboxoftricks.com/ps/eps1.htm]EPS in ten easy stages[/url] Quite SoftwareThe is a User2User forum and the responders are not paid by Adobe or the users they help.

When I get back to the ranch, I will run the Distiller and capture the log file for your review. Since all the files were created by the same program, representing individual pages of a music score, I get the same error for each page. I worked around the error by importing each EPS file into Acrobat, which immediately convert
