i am preparing a file that, regrettably, must load several large .jpg files. this is 6.0 rev 5 on a macbook pro. my guess is that this is a memory allocation error of some kind. i'd really like a way of generating the entire job in one file...

thanks!

Nasty! Are you able to email me the document, or if it's too big to email, perhaps send me a link to download it? That would help us to diagnose the problem.

let me check for permission to send you the images.

i think i found the problem though: pilot error. i had some parts that look like this

<div class='jan'> ... </div>

and other places like this

<div id='jan'> ... </div>

and i had swapped div.jan { ... } with #jan { ... } in the css, so a width was being assigned to the wrong <div/>s. when fixed the css, it compiled just fine...

anyway, let me check on the image permissions...

Perhaps replace the images with blank images of the same size? That might still trigger the bug. Prince really shouldn't be giving error messages like that, regardless of what the document is like.
