Suddenly today for no reason Acrobat won't convert a particular PowerPoint presentation to PDF. It goes through every page successfully, then when converting to PDF, it says "an error occurred while trying to print to Adobe PDF."
 
I presume there's something in this particular file that's preventing it from finishing, but I have no clue. I need to convert this presentation to PDF for emailing.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.5, Windows

Try breaking the PPT up into smaller pages. If a section converts to PDF, then it is a problem with a particular page. If the sections have the same error pattern then there is an issue with some document wide parameter. Could be the scheme or templates. Or it could be a conversion setting.
