It worked! Set the default printer to PrimoPDF, selected print rather than preview. It took about 10 minutes for Legacy to process the file, but it completed without incident in Legacy. The PrimoPDF screen came up asking me where to create the pdf file, and voila I got a 2555 page PDF file that I was looking for.
Now on to the really big file!

Try installing an alternative PDF file creator as a printer and print directly to that to bypass our PDF creator. I have had other users who run into limitations of our PDF creator took report that using an external PDF creator worked for them. They were running into a limitation on the number of pictures included in a single report not a memory error. Hopefully using an external PDF creator will avoid your memory error as well.
