Hi,
I am using MacOSX/9.9.2 and Distiller 5, and when trying to distill a
word document I get the well-known

%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: setdistillerparams;
ErrorInfo: CalCMYKProfile U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Error accessing color profile: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

I tried the suggested solution, to change the color setting to "leave
colors unchanged." Actually, I also tried another suggestion, to make
an EXACT COPY of the eBook settings. Using either of these, the error
changes to

Symbol not found,using Courier.
%%[Error:invalidfont;Offendingcommand:findfont]%%

stack:
/Font
/Courier
/nEro
/Symbol
/f262

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

How can it lose fonts like this? Any ideas? How does and EXACT COPY of
the settings differ from the original? The document is posted at
www2.hawaii.edu/~bcohen/sharing/test.doc It is Word98 for Mac.

Thanks for any help!
Barbara

For the history books, and because this answer comes up first in a
search for this problem but is unanswered...I noted from the Adobe
website that the program that works for Mac is a chooser extension only
available with the 4.0 version called Acrobat PDFWriter. (Sorry Adobe
5.0 users, nothing works) I went back to my 4.0 Adobe disc and did a
custom install and choose the PDF Writer. After installing it and
restarting it showed up under my chooser. To use it, open Quark Xpress
4.1, choose Acrobat PDF Writer from your chooser menu (under the
apple), then just hit print like you would to print any document. Use
all the default settings and you should automatically get an untitled
pdf document on your desktop that you can rename.
If anyone finds this good luck!
