There are two likely causes:
1. Your projector is/isn't set to animate in background. Try changing this
under the projector build options. Try it both ways and see if either
works. Another possibility is that the way you are waiting within Director
is tying up too much processor time. I wouldn't expect Acrobat to be
launched until after the current script completes, so you might wait in the
next frame, not the same frame from which you launched Acrobat.
2. It is a memory issue (probably not if Acrobat launches later. If Acrobat
didn't launch at all, then it is probably a memory issue.) To address
memory issues you can allocate less memory to the projector, clear memory
within the projector before printing, or set the projector to not use
temporary memory (thus leaving more for Acrobat).
It doesn't sound like a path issue. I'm guessing that it is something to do
with item 1 above.
