Reply To: Failed to export to pdf. Color settings error?

ah ha. Success. I adjusted the image size and dpi as suggested by:

solution three.

To do this I opened each of the 120 files in photoshop from my packaged links folder so I wasn't altering the original images saved elsewhere. Edit>image size, checked scale styles, constrain proportions, and resample image. Then I changed the dpi to 200 (capacity of school printers) and found out the appoximate size i need in my indesign layout, back to photoshop to adjust the width or height of the image to suit. Save file. update in indesign. It took several hours and part way through I tested the export to pdf function but it still failed. It wasn't until I had altered every one of the 120 images that the export worked.

My links folder was 419MB its now 150MB so that shows you how much of a difference the resizing made. My next problem is the resulting pdf is 63MB which is too big to email…do I try the export again with different settings or somehow compress the pdf?
