Leonard, et al,
Thanks for the tips and suggestions.
However, it was all my own fault. After introducing the 'PrintToPDF'
routine, I used an incorrect reference for one of the filenames and Acrobat
Exchange was running out of memory trying to use a file which did not exist.
I'm going to check out the Licensing issue with Adobe's European HQ here in
Edinburgh. Maybe, they'll be lenient with this humble Education project.
Many thanks again
George

Sure, dump Acrobat in favor of a tool like AppendPDF
