Hi - I am not able to create a PDF from a QuarkXpress 5 file anymore. I recently upgraded to Acrobat 9 Professional and it just stopped. I keep getting the following error:
Error: typecheck: OffendingCommand: ashow
At the end of the log is says: Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced.
I cannot find anything on how to fix this and I am not advanced to troubleshoot this on my own. The Quark file is over 100 pages and has various fonts and images.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Pedro
Hi Pedro,
Not a QuarkXpress user but after rooting about for some truffles I
came across some information in Adobe TN/Kb articles that may be of interest.
A common refrain in the QuarkXpress/Acrobat TechNotes/Kb articles
is that Adobe does not support the creation of PDF files from QuarkXpress.
However, "...information is provided as a courtesy..."
And, fairly consistently, it is suggested that one updates to the latest
version of QuarkXpress. Another suggestion is to disable the OPI Xtension in
QuarkXPress 5.0.
A thread on Adobe's Acrobat Macintosh forum has a post that states
Acrobat 9 will not work with Quark 6.52 (which Quark no longer supports,
so I'd hazard guess that QarkXpress 5.x is not supported as well is & likewise, not functional with Acrobat 9).

So, after a toss of the chicken bones, my guess is that you may need to
roll back to an earlier release of Acrobat or roll forward to the current
Quark/QuarkXpress application.
Be well...
