    Hi,

    I have a large (~1,300-page) DOC file that I would like to convert to a PDF. Despite having 4 cores and 6 GB of RAM at my disposal, Word still manages to crash every time I try to save the document as a PDF. Has anyone had any luck with this issue?

    Thanks,
    Zach

    I regularly convert very large documents to pdf using the Save As PDF facility.  However, another way to do it is to download the free PrimoPDF converter which will appear on you system as a printer.  With that, if you cannot "print" the document in one go, you can print it in sections (range of pages) and if you assign the same filename each time, you will be able to append the current "print job" to the previous one(s)
