Summary
Still Crashin' After all These Tears
Description of the issue
I also tried reducing everything on my layout so that it easily fit on one page, but I am facing crashes. My layout consists of 4 containers which are roughly the full page size [but transparent]. Only 1 of the 4 contains data. There are some transparent text fields that overlay the data and contain basic info about the data. [This is one of several databases that contain scanned pages. In all, we store more than 250,000 scanned pages in FM.] I can watch the HD icon of my Mac and see that FM sets aside about 10 gigs as it starts the process, but it goes only a few seconds before crashing. This time, I was attempting to do a 1200 page PDF, but it also failed on a 100+ page PDF and smaller attempts as well. This used to work before the upgrade. So I checked the latest FAQs and made sure that I reworked any scripts that might contain layout script steps. I'm running out of stoopid pills, but I'm sure that I must be taking them by the fistful. BWS

Thank you for your post.
Is there an error message when you crash? Is it successful if you try printing from page 1 to 1? If it is failing on just one page, then perhaps the Adobe font list file is corrupt. Try removing the following file: (Adobe will create a new one)
Home -> Library -> Application Support -> Adobe -> TypeSpt -> AdobeFnt08.lst
Now, try and print from page 1 to 1 and see if this works.
