I recently converted a 70+ document InDesign book project from CS 5.5 to CS6. I've also transitioned over to a new computer, being sure that all my plugins are the same on both computers. Somewhere along the way, I stopped being able to export a PDF of this particular book.
I've tried everything I know to do:
- Deleted preference
- Deleted InDesign caches
- Exported all files from INDD to IDML, and then back again.
- Converted all cross references to DTP Tool x-ref Pro.
- Created a new book file and moved all my fresh INDD files there.
- Exported just a few documents at a time.
- Tried exporting with different PDF settings
- Tried exporting Interactive PDF
- Tried exporting flattened PDF...
Sometimes, the book hangs at about 75%, other times, it crashes it I just try to export the first few chapters only. When InDesign locks up at the 75% mark, my entire computer locks up, and I get a gray screen with nothing but the InDesign splash screen. Then I have to force restart. But then I have to normally restart, as whenever I force restart, my external hard drives (where my book is located) become read only.
I have done everything I know to export a PDF of this book. I don't know what to do... I am desparate. Anyone out there who can take a look at my crash report and interpret it for me?
I have posted it on paste bin: http://pastebin.com/YmRXqsfc
