Can't Open PDF published by Archiacd 17.

I'm using Archicad 17 on Mac. I'm having issue with publishing PDFs. The actual Publishing Process is fine, but I can't open the PDFs after they've been published.

Is the file size of the PDF really large by any chance?
We've had an issue with objects using an old fill that would blow out the file size by about 800%!
That would then cause the PDF not to open.

I've had this issue back in AC16 on a particular project. I found that my default PDF program would not open the PDF. However if I used a different program (i.e. a graphics program instead of a PDF reader) that the file would open. I re-saved under a different name and the issue went away for that particular PDF file. It's a bit of a pain, but if the problem persists, perhaps it will offer a work around.

I'm using adobe acrobat pro. It has been working for me for years until I've updated the Mac to OSX 10.10. Everything is up to date, Not sure what is causing this.
