Big PDF Problems

[admedia]

I use PDF alot for proofing and final output.

I do alot of large format work. Files often exeed well over 500MB PSD.

When I am ready to send a client a proof, I will print to pdf on 8.5 x 11 selecting the 'shrink to fit the page' option to make a small file that the client can print on 8.5 x 11 easily.

Alot of times I get a postscript error when the big PSD is distilling... errors like "Post Script Error" and "Offending Command"....

It's probably a memory problem... alot of times I can restart my system and try again and it works.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Update: When I was typing this I was outputting to PDF something for the second time. First time failed, so I restarted. Second one output fine after the restart... what would cause this?
