Hi,
Yesterday I began conversion of a 58 Megabyte Word2003 file into PDF
using Acrobat Pro 7.0. (Used the command Create New Pdf.)
The file is around 4000 pages. It contains approx. 12K bookmarks and
approx. 68K internal hyperlinks (jumps to the bookmarks) that need to
be functional in the end product.

I can't break this into smaller files with external jumps, because the
requirement is that the PDF be delivered as a single file.

The conversion has been running for ~21 hours.
Aside from a warning at the beginning that "it would take a long time"
if I left the tags option on, there have been no errors.
A small dialog, Titlebar=Acrobat PDFMaker is in view.
Text at the top says
Style... ####### (where the #'s is a constanly upticking number@ a few/
second=214192 now)
A progress bar with 3 blocks filled in.
an Edit Box that contains the lines:
Converting Headings and Styles to Bookmarks...
Converting to Adobe PDF...

It just keeps going...
In Task Manager Winword.exe is very slowly gaining RAM usage (740KB
now)

Does anyone know if I should just wait this out? (or of a better way?)

You have placed a great demand on the software. Some of the speed
issue might be a matter of how much RAM you have and what your
processor is. Anyway, I would let 'er rip and see what happens.

Thanks,
It's now 26 hours.
The text on the dialog has changed to "Searching..."
and Task Manager is saying that word is "Not Responding"
I've often seen this when it's in a tight loop.
I'll give it till the morning.
Off hand, would you know if I must include tags in order make get
internal hyperlinks functional?

It finally finished the "Converting to Adobe PDF..." stage in the we
hrs of the AM (>36 hours!)
Now it's still at work in "Post Processing..." "Creating PDF Tags..."
Hope this ends soon.

Any idea if I import the document into Framemaker 7.1 first and THEN
generate PDF via Distiller if the process would be more swift?

Maybe but you would two processes and that would most likely taken even longer.

I unchecked "Enable accessibility and reflow" and the PDF was created
flawlessly(all internal hyperlinks translated intact) in about 70
minutes (vs. 48 hrs and counting with numerous errors.)
Interestingly (for me because I'm new to all this PDF stuff), when I
built a small subset with tags enabled, there was no "Tags" tab on
the
finished PDF.
