Maximum number of pdf pages in FM query?

[Rob Shell]

Dear Framers:
I am still using FM 8.2 on an XP platform with 4 gigs of ram. My pdf project 
is at 5,677 pages; heavily indexed and illustrated. I am having problems 
generating a pdf in the "save as" method. Crashes with no clues except the 
arcane (to me) generated error file. Have I arrived at the outer reaches? 
Shorter files (1,000 pp) generate as smoothly as silk. Must I move to 
structured format?

I have miffed the files.

Thank you for a wonderful listserv. I am a lurker.
Rob
