When attempting to convert a Publisher file (10-12 pg document) to a pdf file it says it is creating and gets to 30% complete and stops. Then I get an error message that says it failed. What am I doing wrong? How can I correct this?

Is there a log file produced?

If so, what are its contents?

Not all the formatting features or fonts used by MS Office products can be converted to the PDF format.
