Reply To: CS4 Export Book to PDF crashes

Thank you, very helpful. I have 4gb of RAM. :)

Yes, it is a real problem not being able to export in one go, because when I exported in pieces and manually combined them in Acrobat, my bookmarks were all broken. One of the files in the book contains a TOC and I need that to generate the bookmarks. I create a new PDF weekly or twice a week.

I have placed inDesign files within the pages so that I can make changes to those placed files and have the changes reflect everywhere. If I were to place PDF files intead, would it still be a “live link?” As in, I could make new PDF files with the same name, and InDesign would recognize that they are updated and ask if I want to update the content?

Alternatively, would it help to restructure my indb such that instead of having 50 or so one-page docs, I used 5 or so 10-page docs?

Thanks,

Sheri
