I have a user who is getting this output when trying to print a pdf from Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard.
ERROR: rangecheck
OFFENDING COMMAND: image
STACK:
-dictionary-
-savelevel-
It will print out the first two pages of a 64 page document and then print out that error. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 6.0.5, Windows

Hi pyarnell,

The "PostScript Offending Command" lists "image" under the heading that indicates a problem with bitmap data. You may have bitmap data that exceeds the printer's memory or PostScript language limit. The likeliest source of bitmap data is a graphic in your file. You can check graphics in your file to see if one or more is causing the problem. If you find a likely culprit, you can delete the graphic, reimport it, save it in different format, or simplify it (for example, reduce its dpi). You can also try printing the file to a printer with more memory.

Hope this helps,
Lori

I have a similar problem.

ERROR: rangecheck
OFFENDING COMMAND: image
STACK:
-dictionary-

Is there a way for Preflight to find the issue? If so, which Profile should I select? Also, I have photoshop tifs and illustrator eps files in my 32 page Quark file. What should I be looking for in each image to find the culprit?

Thanks!
