Depending on your layout application you may be able to directly export to PDF, completely avoiding this issue. - Trying another release of Distiller might not be a bad idea. - As a last resort, how about switching off all pdfmark processing in Distiller? The tricky part is that this requires some knowledge from the user. The code to deactivate pdfmark processing is: /pdfmark where {pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse You either need to insert this in your Postscript file using an editor, preferably right after the first few header lines or this line of code should be added to the PostScript header or prolog file of a queue or device.

When you print one of the two pages to a .ps file and then distill it , it fails. In my case the problem has been caused by a placed image(s), such as a Photoshop eps, that is on the adjoining page, but is either purposely crossed over or accidently crossed over to the page you are trying to print. If you are adding bleed, any image on an adjoining page that falls within the bleed area can cause it also. To Fix we either temporarily turn off the printing of the crossed-over pic or temporarily drag the picture box outside the printing area (remember bleed).

The error persists. Ideas? I noticed the .ps file is inordinately large. I tried the workaround of turning off tagged PDF. The error persists. Ideas? I noticed the .ps file is inordinately large.
