Hey there,

I have Word 2007 64-bit running on Windows 7 64-bit and have noticed two
issues. Spooling to the printer can take forever, and sometimes it never
prints. Second, PDFs take awhile to print, sometimes 15 minutes or more for
a small document. I think this is because of large files sizes from word
documents. I usually have reports with pictures and tables that are from 50
to 150 pages. A typical report (done on Word 2007 32-bit) is about 15,000
KB. But on my word an average report is more like 100 MB. I tried
compressing all the pictures and such, but that only knocks down the size to
about 85 MB (and these pictures are jpegs on the lowest camera quality
setting already). Any ideas?

Thanks

I rarely work with that large files myself, but I'm told Word should be able to handle large documents without problems (assuming that there is sufficient amount of RAM of course). You could try reinstalling the printer driver.
