Bonjour Fran�ois,
I had an almost identical problem this morning, except my deadline is Monday. One of my machines has FM6p WIN2Kpro etc.
Even with just a small book (5 chapters 130 pages) FM6 crashed when trying to write the .ps file through the latest Acrobat Distiller printer driver.

To escape from the problem, I modified the Generate Acrobat Data settings.
In the Bookmarks box I deselected "include paragraph formats labels" , and "Articles" (try to translate this from the French because my FM6 version is in French). In the structure box I deselected "Generate a logical PDF structure" (again try to translate from the French). In the Links box I deselected the "Create named destinations...". In the Format menu for the book I seemed to have somehow deselected "Optimisation of the PDF file".

When I generate the .ps file (it doesn't crash now), I get a warning that the generated file might have non-functional links. I distilled the .ps and got a PDF file four times bigger than expected, but it works with all internal links, and prints beautifully.

Caveat: This is not a well-thought-out engineering solution. It's more to do with "what will the ministerial select comittee do to me if I don't arrive Monday 8AM with the PDF on disk". I escaped I hope - good luck for your PhD.
Cheers
Ian
