repeated error on large .pdf export

[letsgofishing]

P&LD 10 is only 32 bit...

Hi Mike,
Won't you please let me know what all your pdf export settings were for the 15 pages?

I've increased the size of the virtual memory - see attached.
Still getting "memory is getting low" warnings - I do what they suggest - close the file and reopen it using recent documents - no change - still get the warning.

AAAARGGGHHH! - Tried exporting first 15 pages - same error!


Tried again - 10 pages worked fine - wish I understood what the problem is!

coming late to this - but if you are using a 32bit application, then it will only ever be able to use around 3GB of memory give or take 500MB depending on your system configuration - there is not really much you can do about that in practice

you may have to split the file and use another application to merge PDFs if you need it all in one file....

or alternatively port it from P&LD to 64bit Designer Pro if you have this and try it from there [no absolute guarantee as it depends on the PDF export filter capabilities as well...]

Hi handrawn - thanks for the reply.
Yip, I'm just going to split the document up into 6 page .pdfs....

Still would like to know what the error is telling me though...

Thanks everyone for trying to help with this.

if you mean 1599.k.xp.er then that is possibly just a flag to tell a bebug program/programmer where the program 'fell-over' - it may not mean anything at all in absolute terms, only someone with programming knowledge of the app caould say for sure...

Hi Mike,
Won't you please let me know what all your pdf export settings were for the 15 pages?

I'm on the other side of the world...it's not quite 6 am here...

I used PDF/X-3 and a CMYK profile.

Your page in the XAR file you sent me is 900mm wide, not 450. So I don't know what to say about the design specs. I did it both at the file page size and after shooing Double page at 450mm wide. I used a laptop with only 4 gigs of RAM, Windows 64-bit and using XDP 64-bit. I don't know if the entire file would have been successful on this computer or not. I likely could have done more pages, don't know about the whole thing.

Hi Letsgofishing. It very much looks like a memory problem to me why not batch export say 8 to 10 pages at a time and then merge them. There are loads of free programmes out there to do this job and it will cut down your frustration. I use Adobe's Acro Pro for this job but have a look here as I am sure you will find something: https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourc...rge%20software

Thanks for the help Mike
