Thanks for reply. After checking extensions, have fixed (?) the problem, whatever caused it. Yes, it's a Mac and we use both types of fonts - PS and TT. making PDFs by making PS file first... for now, all is solved re the bad b/box, but there is another problem on another computer. Made 50 page newspaper, using text/graphics, tabloid size, and the person could not save before making PDF. I suggested he split it up nto smaller segments (10 pages each) to pinpoint the page with the error - but he was reluctant to do this. This is the 2nd or 3rd time he's been unable to save, thus, unable to make PDF for printer. Any ideas on this problem??
