Re: Distiller Error

[Jay Maechtlen <techwriter -at- covad -dot- net>]

Well, Distiller is whining about a pdfmark (a pdf marker for a xref or 
equivalent) in the source doc.
To Distiller, "source document" means the PostScript stream that it sees 
from FM.
Offhand, I'd suspect a bogus xref or index marker or such that would 
generate a link in the destination PDF.

Maybe this is enough of a clue?

If you really wanted to get hardcore, FM may be willing to output the 
bare PS to a file for examination. But, reading PostScript isn't for the 
faint of heart!

Regards
Jay
