<DIV><SPAN class=095582113-06122005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm hoping one or
more of the Acrobat gurus on the list may be able to help with this
problem.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=095582113-06122005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm saving a book as
PDF using structured Frame 7.1 (using File, Save Book As...) on Windows XP. I'm
creating bookmarks but not tagged PDF. The process creates a TPS file which is
then distilled to PDF. My book has 5 files. Watching the TPS file size in
Windows Explorer, I see it increases rapidly up to about 3 MB, then slows to a
crawl. Whereas the first 3MB is created in seconds, after that it adds about 10K
every 20 seconds. the TPS file gets up to about 3.4 MB before completion.
Eventually the PDF is created and looks fine, and the bookmarks/links work OK.
But it can take an hour to create the PDF. I tried this on three different
machines with the same result. I'm doing this across a network, but I tried it
on a local copy too with the same result.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=095582113-06122005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've looked into
this quite closely, and the problem begins with a file that contains text
imported from Word (proved by adding and removing files/sections and distilling
again). The slow-down occurs half-way through this file. The original Word doc
does not contain any cross-references or hyperlinks, only text (no graphics
either). I created the structured Frame file from this Word doc by saving as
RTF, then using the open-source rtf2xml utility to create DocBook
XML.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=095582113-06122005><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have any
ideas what might cause this? I've eliminated cross-refs and hyperlinks in
the original Word doc (my first suspicion). I saved as MIF and re-opened, but it
made no difference. My choices at present seem to be either to live with the
slow PDF generation or to re-type the document.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
