Cannot Save The File error when creating PDF

My Publisher 2007 has been able to create pdf files using the Save As PDF/XPS
plugin from microssoft for over a year. Just used it earlier today. Now I get
a 'Cannot Save The File' when I try to publish or save as PDF. I see a lot of
older post about this problem, but only suggestions to use other free PDF
creators.

If I create a new publication it works, but it will not work with existing
ones. What changed? It appears to be a coruption in the pub file. Why doesn't
microsoft create a file integrity or validation check to look for errors
rather than pointing everyone to other non microsoft solutions? Address the
issue, determine the cause, fix the problem.

Either it is a file coruption or the Microsoft PDF convertor has a hicup. I
can copy all of the contents to a new pub file and it works fine.

Have you tried Office Diagnostics in the Help menu?

You'd do better to ask Microsoft that question! Nobody here admits to
being Microsoft.

Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I do wish I could
remember the darn question

If the file is damaged there isn't much Microsoft can do. It certainly isn't
worth the cost of a technical call. The OP found a workaround. If the OP tried
the Design Checker or the many other troubleshooting options...
