Memory full error with printing pdf

Occasionally I get a memory full error with printing pdf (Cmd-P - then use save PDF on lower left dialog screen). This is when just printing a few pages.

Why Am I getting this and how can I fix this?

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I am not sure why but I have noticed some Adobe products when used to convert html documents (web pages) to pdf, can produce very large files.
Try using Apple's Preview to see if those 'memory full' messages still occur.

I am presuming you have plenty of free hard drive space and also sufficient RAM so suggesting it is an application bug about memory that is at issue and not actually a lack of physical memory.

Hi roam

sorry for the delay in responding...

I have lots of hard drive space and ram so not a problem. This also happens on 2 other machines when printing 10 or 20 pdf's directly from filemaker...
