Error code 107

Having issues with error code 107, wont let me save the document.

This error indicates that you have added a reference to an external file, but that reference isn’t showing up in the File Reference Manager. Try double checking what external file references are showing up in the References section of the Document Setup dialog, and comparing that list with what files you have inserted.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Adam

I’m going to bump this old thread because it is still an issue for me and I think I’ve found the cause.
I had a persistant pattern file in my document references that would disappear when I purged but then cause the error 107. I discovered that the only place it was used was in the pattern fill for a clipping mask. Somehow Layout did not recognise this entity as using the pattern for the purposes of the purge, but would then suddenly give an error when it was removed. I changed all my clipping masks to standard fills (not patterns) and the error 107 has dissapeared.
I hope this helps anyone else getting the error.

This is indeed the cause of most of the error 107 issues, and this bug is logged internally but we have not had time to fix the problem.

Thank you for writing up a work-around solution for other users.

Hi Adam
The problem is occuring for me on a file that I created by pasting other content.

I can’t seem to find or purge the item in Red below
