How much RAM does the PC running Word and Acrobat have?

Big documents like lots of headroom when they're being converted to
PDF.  I used to run into all kinds of issues (including broken links)
when converting large Word documents, but since I upgraded both my
desktop and laptop to 2GB of RAM, I haven't had a problem like this.

If you can zip up a large Word document so that it's a reasonable size
to e-mail, I'd be glad to try to PDF it on one of my machines.
