I am fairly new at working with PageMaker. I have created business cards in PageMaker 7.0 using only fonts (no graphics). When I try to export to PDF (Adobe 5.0) my computer kept shutting down with an error message. After a couple days of frustration, I finally got it to work, but it still works sporadically. Does anyone knows what causes this and how I can fix it. Also, when I finally exported it to a PDF, the PDF file is not the same size or alignment at the original. Each card is about 2 picas smaller so with 5 across that is 2 x 5 picas smaller across and 4 picas down. I embedded the fonts, but there must be something I am not doing--unless it always does this. Any help or advice is great. As I said, I am new at this and have a lot to learn. Thanks, Marcia.

The message was Adobe Pagemaker for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. Then it just shuts down. It created an error report which was fairy long (1/2 page or so), and I don't have a clue what all the technical info meant. I know this doesn't help you much. From reading some of the e-mails, other people seem to have had the same trouble.

Ok, it doesn't tell us much, but it does tell us something. There are a number of different programs involved, especially PageMaker and Acrobat Distiller. Because PageMaker is the program that's crashing, it seems to put Distiller out of the picture. Given that, I'd recommend that you post in the PageMaker forum, because that's where you'll find the most specialists who may have seen (and hopefully solved) this problem. Aandi Inston
