Asura & placed PDF files
A PostScript error syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: / can pop up when generating a PDF from an InDesign document made up of placed PDFs. This can happen when a PDF file from Illustrator CS2 is passed through a OneVision Asura system and then placed in the InDesign document. Directly placing the Illustrator PDF gets around the error.
