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

Thanks for the suggestions.

My computer is up to date and I can only assume the school computers are too.

The downsampling thing does sounds like it might be the solution. I tried disabling the downsampling as part of the export to pdf process but it still failed on about page 14. So now I'm going through all 120 files in my links folder to resample and resize them in photoshop and see if that works. A lot of the links are pdf, does it make sense to adjust these ones in photoshop and save as jpeg or leave as pdf?

Once I've adjusted the original files, am I then going to have to reposition them and resize them in their frames in indesign? Surely this can't be a standard “work flow” if thats what you call it. What I mean is, people who make books and magazines with indeisgn won't be adjusting the all their original files to suit the size required in indesign because that would defeat the indesign feature of resizing images and take ages right?

any other ideas?
