Thank you to those who responded. I found there is a problem with one of the PDF pages. The error message I got was: - %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%% %%[Page: 1]%% %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: definefont; ErrorInfo: .notdef --nostringval-- ]%% Stack: /Font -dict- /Garamond-BookCondensedItalic %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error.

My work around is to type the offending page in FrameMaker and use available fonts. The other PDF pages are OK.
