OK... I am designing a brochure in Quark 6.5 in B&W with a B&W photo image. It is one image, duped in varying sizes as a visual motif throughout the design.

I PDF it using Export Layout to PDF.

I set it for grayscale. I keep resolution As Is. I check NONE under all three "Image Compression Options" (ie: color, grayscale, monochromatic), but at the bottom I check "Compress All Text & Line Art." I have "OPI Active" checked with Include Images (both tiff & eps checked.)

When the PDF is created and I open it it says "Array length is out of range" but I can see the images. I do a Reduce File Size, and it still says that warning, but I can still see the images. I send it to a client, they can't see the images.

The original photo file was supplied to me. I believe it was created on a PC as a jpg with a mask. When I initially copied it to my Mac, it showed up as a Picture Viewer file. When I try to change the source photo image in Photoshop (reduce size, or change to a Photoshop tiff or eps or jpg) & re-import it into the Quark file, it refuses to PDF it. If I do ANYTHING to the image, Quark refuses to make a PDF of it.

I finally solved my problem by going through Print > Save as PDF and it seems happy... but what the F is going on here?

I have Acrobat Professional 6.0.2 and Photoshop CS
