Framemaker crashing when printing to ps file

[Leah Smaller]

Good morning list people,

FM 7.0
Acrobat 5.0

I usually print our Users Guides to ps file and then distill with Acrobat Distiller to get a pdf file. Always works - except today...
Framemaker froze after I clicked Print in the print dialog. No error message was generated; nothing indicated that FM was stuck.

This happened with a book file that I have pdf-ed may times in the past. I had only added a little bit of text to this book and updated to regenerate the ToC & Index.

So....I restarted my computer, tried again, same thing happened.
I did find a work around: Save as pdf! (it worked fine)

Can there be something in this particular file that is causing FM to crash? Just before this happened, I printed to a ps file & distilled and it worked fine.

TIA
