I have an Illustrator file that is a simple file - two colors, both CMYK builds, and outlined text. I am saving direct to PDF from Illustrator, in Acrobat 8 format. When I take it over to my RIP, it crashes.
There are a couple curious things about this file. One, I think I have it narrowed down to the embedded image as being the culprit. It is a transparent tiff embedded into the document. I do not have the link supplied to me, so I cannot do anything with the linked image. Any ideas on what I can do to it?
Two, and this is weird, it rips fine when I place it into one of my HP 5500's hot folders. It only gets RIP errors when I place it in one of the HP Z6100's hot folders.
I can save the file as an .eps and it rips fine. I can remove the image, and it rips fine.
I am getting an error in the RIP log - Error: VMerror, Offending Command: @showpage. The VM error tells me it is a memory thing - so I tried to downsample the PDF, compress the PDF, and downsample AND compress the PDF (all on PDF output out of Illustrator), but to no avail.
I did a live trace of the image, and expanded the trace to vector lines. That worked. However, none of these things that are working appease me. I want to know what is going on here.
If anyone wants to tinker with the file, it is located here:
