Hello Greg,
Thanks for the tip, but since the paths were created in Photoshop using the trick of Select all, then deselecting all the white background with the Magic Wand so that I could export a Photoshop EPS with transparent background, I'm not exactly sure how to determine the number of points in the path. In any event, I have been using this trick for years, and only recently started having difficulties making the conversion to PDF. I have moved from Photoshop 6 to 7. Is there a possible difference in the complexity of paths from one version to the next?
Thanks for your time.

Catherine,
Have you tried simplifying a path by removing a lot of the points and
testing that to see if there is a threshold at which you receive the
limitcheck error. Try with just one image and remove the complex path and
redraw it very crudely with only 50 points or so. If that works, keep
increasing the number of points until you determine the threshold.

Hello,
I've been using PDF for several years now in the publishing business.
At the Farmers Journal in Dublin, all our pages have been sent to our
printers on PDF for the last three years. We print in full colour and I
have often used large Photoshop EPSes with complicated clipping paths
on A3 (tabloid size) pages. However, I am now doing DTP work on a
Macintosh (running Mac OS 9.22 on a parition next to Mac Os 10.2.8)
from home and have recently found it impossible to create press ready
composite CMYK PDFs using either Quark 4 or Quark Passport 5 with
Acrobat Distiller 5. I keep getting limitcheck errors. I have tried
going back to my older version of Acrobat 4 and have tried giving
Distiller and my desktop printers massive amounts of extra RAM, all to
no avail. This is extremely frustrating because I need to be able to
use graphics with transparent backgrounds. I have had no problems with
such files until recently. Has anyone got any suggestions?
