Getting the error message

CalCMYKProfile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
PDFXOutputIntentProfile: None
PDFXOutputIntentProfile and CalCMYKProfile must be the same for Convert All Colors to CMYK.
%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams; ErrorInfo: PDFXOutputIntentProfile setdistillerparams ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

when trying to create a PDF with background masked out.

Color profile is incorrect? Or what?

I have since found out that the problem (or at least one of the problems) was not a color profile isssue but a layers and mask problem. To create transparent areas I have been using masks and saving the file in it’s native format - .psd. By using clipping paths and saving the file as an .eps I was able to solve the problem. I’m using InDesign CS2 & CS3 and Photoshop.
