My only problems when creating PDF with !PDF and !Ghostscript on an 
Iyonix seems to relate to some of the images, or should I say types. 
Often several large images (data size) seem to overload the system and 
don't appear on the output. By using !ChangeFSI to make the image size 
200k instead of 1200k for example seems to correct the problem with 
the missing images 're-appearing' on the next output attempt (without 
any really visible deterioration of quality)

The other types of images that seem to cause some problems relate to 
scanned images below 16bpp - the black and white types. Rescanning 
with the option set to coloured cures that, even if they then need to 
be reduced in data size with !ChangeFSI

Some of my PDF's have been around 120 pages and heavily laden with 
images - a draft of a book.
