Hi Harry, Justin, Fenton, CobaltSky It's always something obvious. Thanks for all your input. It was a comment by CobaltSky that sparked the solution: "An idiosyncratic memory error is routinely returned when the OS-level routine fails to locate the path to which file creation is directed - or when the path is not accessible." At first this didn't register as everybody has access to the fileserver where the print dialogue saves the PDF. Then Harry pointed out: "So if you have a server then it has to be mounted on each user machine and the the path to print to it must be the same." Of course, the path is always the same as it is a networked server.
But only if it is mounted!! Whereas I normally have all the shared volumes mounted, my colleague only normally has one - and its not the one I was using to save the PDF to. If I unmount the volume I now get the same message. So, thanks again for your input.
