Everything is Crap » indesign http://everythingiscrap.com Notes on the crap we've been subjected to Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:10:15 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 PMP Client not opening ads http://everythingiscrap.com/pmp-client-not-opening-ads/ http://everythingiscrap.com/pmp-client-not-opening-ads/#comments Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:28:00 +0000 kris http://piotrouble.wordpress.com/2009/07/01/pmp-client-not-opening-ads

Ok,
If you get some crazy error from Adobe each and every time you try to open an ad thru the PMP client, it might be one of the Mediaspan plug-ins. Take the old ones out and put in a fresh copy!

%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: obj ]%%

Stack:
0
1

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

I'm not sure what causes the problem, but I do have a workaround. Re-save the files using Illustrator and then Distill them again. It's annoying and tedious, but I guess you could say the problem is solved.

Well, actually, Scott taught Kris and Kris taught me.
Every now and then PMP will be unable to open InDesign documents. Easy fix. Just delete from…
/Macintosh HD/Users/[username]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 5.0
…the following two items…
InDesign Recovery (folder)
InDesign SavedData (file)
…works fine.
This fix is for CS3 only, CS2 has its own fix for this problem. Hopefully I'll never need the CS2 fix.

Boom! Delete it and you're back in business.
