"Processing power"? Not likely (I'm tempted to say "nonsense"). How was
she creating the PDF? When and how did it fail? 

The log file for the job (which should be in the directory in which the
PDF was being created) shows which pages were successfully processed,
when the process failed, and what error occurred. That information is
necessary for the list to provide any meaningful suggestions.
