Trouble with printing PDF file

This happened to me, and I started by removing the images that were on
the page where printing stopped (in your case, page 35), and I found the
error quickly.

Bit confused here. You have successfully created a PDF from FM8 (using  
Save As?) and you are printing to PDF again. Why?

In any case, if it is stopping on the same page each time then it is  
likely to be an artefact that has an error or some such that the  
printer driver doesn't like. Normally these include image files that  
may have  unusually large numbers of anchor points, unsupported  
postscript commands, etc. The best approach is to progressively remove  
artefacts and regenerating the PDF and printing from it until you find  
that which is causing the problem.
