Hey guys :), i'm fairly new with InDesign and most def hella new here. I'm faced with a f--g nightmare of a problem when trying to print a booklet as a postscript file in order to afterwards save it as a .pdf and i can't f--g find any solution to my problem even tho i r--d that google search bar. Thing is; i had to create this children's drawing book from pdf's scans. So i made them frames and inserted the pdf's in them, droped the text and proceeded to print as a booklet. All fine until i try to open it in Acrobat and this happens; https://puu.sh/h1yCY/50d7bd2341.png i tried several PPDs, i tried removing the .indd before the .ps, i tried to save the original file as a .idml and then save as a .ps, i tried like f--k it, i have no idea how i could possibly fix this and i'm pretty frustrated right now. so here i am, asking for help. please help. :/

  Your frustration is palpable.
  What version in InDesign?
  To confirm: are you creating a Postscript file then using Distiller to create the PDF?
  
  Things I’d try if it I was trouble shooting it.
  –Importing a single page from the pdf and printing the booklet to see if it was the pdf (not all pdfs are equal).
  –Importing the PDF into Photoshop and saving out PSD of the pages.
  –Remove all the frames and see if it creates it with just the text
  –Trying it without any fonts (corrupt fonts are still a thing, you can always convert the font to outlines if it’s the problem)
  
  And if those don’t work then one has to get creative…

  As aspian said, do you use the distiller to “distill” the .ps to a pdf file? If not, pls do so.
  Did you try exporting it as a pdf/x4?
