Word file won't convert to PDF

[scauser]

When I attempt to save an 850 pg. Word file as a PDF, the process starts, and continues for some time, but never finishes. The windows appear stating that it is scanning for tags, bookmarks, etc., but then after about 30 minutes, the process stops and when the dust settles, the Word file is just sitting there, unaffected. However, when I click Start / Documents, the PDF file exists as a shortcut, but when clicked, the little flashlight appears and it says that the file cannot be found. Strange thing is, a smaller related document converts to PDF very easily, in a matter of seconds.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!
