My go-to is performing a MIF wash of the book. Adobe actually has a DLL for that which, for some reason, it doesn't include as part of the basic installation (see https://helpx.adobe.com/framemaker/kb/how-to-use-mifwash-utility-in-framemaker.html) .
If that doesn't work, I start working my way through halves of the book. That is, I try to PDF the last half of the book. If that works, I know the problem is in the first half. Then I PDF half of the remaining files. If that works, I move on to half of the remaining files, and so on, until I isolate which file is causing the issue. Repeat the process on the pages of the file itself. Most often, an issue like this is caused by a corrupted graphics file. Isolate it and then try to figure out what went wrong with it, which can mean recreating it.
