Can't create PDF: "Failure when trying to produce data of type Apple PDF pasteboard"
I'm trying to create a PDF of a 30-canvas document that worked fine until recently.
During PDF creation, I get a dialog box saying "Error when printing", and then another dialog box saying "The document [name.graffle] could not be saved to [name.pdf]. Failure when trying to produce data of type Apple PDF pasteboard type - check the console for messages.

The problem has inexplicably disappeared. All that I've changed is to quit Parallels in order to free up system resources.

The Error (1007) creating CGS Window is something I have seen far too much of on Leopard when using memory intensive apps (e.g. RapidWeaver often fails to publish for me with this error message - my site is very large and uses a lot of RAM to publish). I suspect it is an OS bug rather than an app specific one, but it is incredibly annoying when it occurs. If you check out all the messages in console do you also start to see lots of malloc errors around the same time? That has been another symptom I have seen when this error occurs.

Btw, I believe CGS stands for Core Graphics System, which suggests the bug is there and Apple's to solve.

Failure when trying to produce data of type BMP - check the console for messages
Hi Guys,
I've been getting this error quite a bit lately... Seems that if i'm working on a large canvas (80cm x 120cm) and using high quality PNG and PDF's to create my images the file size climbs a bit As soon as I try to create a PDF/BMP/PNG via the export function I get this message The document “...” could not be exported as “...”. Failure when trying to produce data of type BMP - check the console for messages Now the console returns some random error which makes no sense, Any suggestions?

Failure when trying to produce data of type Apple PDF pasteboard
1 Yes, it is an Apple bug.
2 But it is no big deal to work around. Just delete the file you are trying to write (Eg. export PDF vector image), and then export. |
delete the file you are trying to write?
hi guys -
this last post seems to suggest there is a fix for this... but i don't understand it - i.e.: what does delete the file you're trying to write mean? is there anyway to fix this error? i get the same thing when i'm exporting large files to PDF on osx 10.6.8 thx! |
Just in case it applies to anyone else, I have gotten the "Failure to to produce data of type..." message when I accidentally try to export canvases marked for non-printing.
