Nice sig, Rob.... I'm assuming you're using 7.2. As you've no doubt noted in other threads, SaveAs PDF isn't ever the preferred method of generating a PDF, so you may want to try setting the Adobe logical printer as your default printer and then using a Print command to generate the PDF. Another standard tip that may be helpful is to make sure that all FM content files are open on your desktop when you PDF. Probably more important than RAM in your case is how much temp space you have on your hard drive, too, because temporary files are created using any pdf generation process. And because of the crashes, you may have orphan temp files that need to be cleaned out. Art
