Distiller 9 - %%(Error:typecheck:OffendingCommand:show)%%

How do I fix this error when distilling a postscript file. Working in Quark8, Snow Leopard. I can open up the same page in Quark6 and process it fine in Distiller 6. My department will soon upgrade to Snow Leopard and I would like to fix this error in Distiller 9.

I don't know multi-ad creator.
But if they can PS and multi-ad then why not drop the PS into Distiller, make a PDF of the file.
Then place that PDF into InDesign and use File>Export>PDf (Print) from InDesign.

    OK, are you using IE or Firefox? The steps you are using are not clear. If it is a web site you are looking at, what is the URL so others can see if there is an issue? The error simply says it can not find the font mentioned and is using Courier instead. This is not uncommon and may just mean that your system does not have the font used on the site (like Helvetica or such). You may be able to select in the job options to create the PDF even if there is an issue with the font embedding. As I said, knowing what you are looking at would help a lot.
    I am surprised you got this far with AA8 in Win7. It is nice to know what seems to work with the new OS. You might want to update. AA8 is currently at AA8.1.7.

    I am using Indesign CS3 in Windows 7. I am trying to print a brochure to a .pdf and each time I do I get this PostScript message. Any suggestions?

    Google it. It's supposedly caused by a damaged font.

    I wildly guess about why, and have simply Ctrl-P again to print to Adobe PDF, and maybe half the time it works, without any changing, for example, the Photoshop image that I want converted to PDF. Sometimes, superstitiously, I reduce the res/file size and it goes through, but not always. The diagnostic tells me next to nothing, although I was a programmer for 20 years. There seems to be an Acrobat component named "Distiller," and "readstring" is failing for some reason that only one of the product programmers, or someone with similar knowledge, can understand, and the programmer does not tell me the user what to do about it.
    What is the cause of the "ioerror"
    The product I am using is Acrobat 6.

    I do not know anything about Distiller, which I presume is a component of Acrobat 6 Professional. I would know nothing about "opening a file in Distiller." The ioerror occurs when I try to print, via ordinary means, a JPG file while in Photoshop to the printer listed as "Adobe PDF." Usually this works perfectly. When it does fail with the error log inserted into my original post, I just ctrl P again, and about half the time this works. When it does not, I make the totally uninformed guess that the JPG file may be too big, so I resize it smaller. Sometimes it then gets converted to PDF correctly, but sometimes it fails with the same "readstring" error message log. The success and failures appear haphazard, but as a former professional programmer I know that there are deterministic reasons, even if nobody ever discovers them. Debugging programs is very hard work.
    Perhaps someone can suggest a means of forwarding the error message to someone in Adobe programming, who already knows what the error message should mean to me, the user.

    Need Help With Adobe Distiller 9
    Hello Everyone,
    My Challenge :
    =======
    I am using licensed version of Acrobat Distiller 9 for testing.
    The logic converts the Excel to ps file and then ps file to pdf.
    So on local (i.e my computer) it form .ps file and then I am able to conver it to pdf.Everything works fine.
    But now I have setup everything on the server, on the server .ps file forms but when I try to convert it to pdf it
    gives me the following error.
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: PK    ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    It looks like the ps files get formed but somehthing is a miss. because if I try convert it to pdf manually it gives me the erorro,
    From the code it just hangs.
    I am using a windows applpication  and have created a servic which should run everyday to print the reports
    =============
    The code sample is something like this
                                                for (int i = 0; i < strSheets.Length-1; i++)
                                                    myWorkSheet = (Worksheet)myWorkBook.Sheets.get_Item(strSheets[i]);
                                                    myWorkSheet.Select(false); //false is passed so that the first selection remains
                                                Utility.AppendLog("Selected the sheets");
                                                myWorkBook.Worksheets.Application.ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut(Type.Missing, Type.Missing, 1, false, "Acrobat Distiller 9", true, true, PSFileName);
                                                Utility.AppendLog("myWorkBook  Got Printed");
                                                // to print full work sheet just kept the code for now
                                                //myWorkBook.Worksheets.PrintOut(Type.Missing, Type.Missing, 1, false, "Acrobat Distiller 9", true, true, PSFileName);
                                                Utility.AppendLog("Ps File submitted Adobe PDf ");
                                                int FlagJob = objPdfDistiller.FileToPDF(PSFileName, PDFFileName, "");
                                                Utility.AppendLog("FlagJob " + FlagJob);
                                                if (FlagJob == 0)
                                                    Utility.AppendLog("Parameters are invalid For " + PSFileName);
                                                else if (FlagJob == 1)
                                                    Utility.AppendLog("Created SucessfullFor " + PSFileName);
                                                else if (FlagJob == -1)

    Distiller doesn't read PPTX files. Powerpoint does.

  • Distiller 8 Error

    I have a .ps file that works perfectly fine in acrobat distiller 7 on Mac and Windows. When i try and take that same .ps file and distill it in Acrobat distiller 8 Mac and Windows it errors out. Any help appreciated. on windows the fix is adding /F to the shortcut but on the mac i do not know. error code is:
    %%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: file ]%%

    ok added that to my shortcut target. now how do i fix it on the macintosh side?

  • Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: imageDistiller

    I use AcrobatPro 8 to create pdfs from a CAD program called Chief Architect.  It used to work just fine, but now whenever I try to print a CAD layout sheet with an image pasted on it (my typical image is just a black and white .tif image), Adobe will not create the pdf and I get the following error log:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: imageDistiller ]%%
    Stack:
    -dict-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    This only happens when the CAD layout contains an image file.  If the layout has only native CAD drawings, the pdf creates just fine.  I have removed, reinstalled, and updated both the CAD program and Adobe 8 and I still get the same results.
    Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance

    is it happening with a particular type of image or it happens with any kind of it. which version of Acrobat 8 are you currently on? are you able to print to a phycical PS printer, if not then it is most probably not a Adobe issue.

  • Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow

    It's a pain using Acrobat to print a word to pdf. Alternatively, I use PDFCreator to solve the issue which Acrobat PDF Printer cannot do.
    Error message:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    Cambria not found, using Courier.
    %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%

    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Environment:
    OS: windows 8 64-bit
    Office: Office 2010 64-bit
    Word docx: 222 pages with pictures, fonts include Cambria, Times New Roman and Courier.
    Acrobat: Acrobat 9 PRO Extended (9.0.0)
    I tried the following:
    1. Open Acrobat Distiller -> Font Settings, delete all fonts except the one with "Resource\font". Closed the dialog and reopen the Distiller. I did not see any sign that Acrobat Distiller tried to search the whole hard disk for fonts.
    Please advice, Thanks! FYI, PDFCreator works well in this case.

    So, the key thing here is that Distiller can't find Cambria. Distlller indeed doesn't search the whole disk for fonts - not sure why you think it would, since you have to add font directories Removing them cannot make this problem better - only worse. Try adding the specific font directory that contains Cambria.
