Shouldn't but 20K has been more then enough, in fact Stackmon will show you 
that 10K should suffice.

1 - where do I find those PDF's? (I got the PPC601.PDF (size 3Mb --> 777pages))
2 - have some patience :)
No kidding, if you add some extra buffers to the partition holding the PDF 
should make GS a bit happier.
Do you get blank pages or does it stop after telling you how many pages you 
have?
You can try converting to a PS file and see what the output is, if any.
I have a feeling that what you'll see is a line of text with a page number and 
a title but no data for as many pages the document has.
If I remember correctly it is the way GS tells that the PDF has some encrypted 
data which it won't process.
Thats the reason I want to know where you got that PDF. I'm in the beta test 
program of GS and the newer ones have a descriptive error message for this.
