Question
I’m having trouble converting from .dwg to .pdf with this one file for some reason. I keep getting an error that says {limit check, image distiller, postscript error} I’m using ACAD 04, 2 gigs memory. What is the problem?

From contributor A:
What program are you using to convert a dwg to pdf? Sometimes if you have an OLE object in the drawing it will hang up Acrobat Distiller. If you are using Adobe PDF Writer it will hang as well. Here is how I get around theses problems using Adobe PDF: (This is for layout tabs not model space)
Make sure you have AutoDesk DWF Viewer installed. If not, go to AutoDesk.com and get it. It’s a free download.
Open the drawing you wish to plot and type Publish
In the publisher remove the model tab from the list
Click the publish button
When it is through select View DWF File
Go to File>Print
Select your PDF Printer
Select the correct settings
And print.

This is a quick and easy way to print a PDF Catalog
If plotting to a 24 x 36 you might have to setup a custom postscript paper size in the PDF Printer.
