I'm trying to publish book of layouts merged into a single file (via Plotmaker). Inside AcrobatR I got this message. Can someone please put some light on it?
BTW, when publishing as a separate layouts everything works fine.
Thanks

1. How many Sheets are there?
2. Have you tried to merge separate published sheets in Acrobat? Works?

You open the file in Adobe Reader and get this message? IS anything displayed at all? Or does Adobe refuse to open the file?

Have you tried publishing individual PDFs to see if they work any differently?

A quick Google of the error message shows a few possibilities, but none of them that seem Plotmaker related.

What version of Adobe Reader are you using?

Hi Zohrab

1. Only two
2. That's the whole point. When merged, than in Acrobat I'm getting this message. When published separately - works fine.

I thought maybe it has something to do with automatic layouts numbering, but when set to 'custom' it's still the same.

Thanks.

Tom,

It is version 7.0.
I can see the first page, only the second makes problems. I publish a lot via Plotmaker and never had such a problem..

My office does this 10 times a day and I've never seen this before.

Have you tried publishing with the second sheet removed? Maybe it's that sheet specifically?

Heh, now this starts to be very weird. First I thought maybe the drawing is corrupted. Change it, published, got the same message. Than I removed the whole second page, published ... got the same message, but only when selecting it from "bookmark" list (first page this time). Does this make any sence?

Pawel,
#2 question was have you tried to merge separate published (via PM) two pdf files in AdobeAcrobat (not AdobeAcrobatReader)?

Q. #3: Maybe you have used some foreign charachters?

Try to check in this way too:

1. creat back-up copy of your PM File (.lbk).
2. delete all drawings from layout sheets
3. puiblish all emty Layout Sheets to PDF (merged & not)
4. Check result in AcrobatReader7!

If problem still persist, then create new "fresh" .lbk file and import drawings into Layout Sheets. Publish again!
