Acrobat 8 Pro - partial printing under Windows 7 x64 - any ideas?

Question

Hi,
I've recently installed Acrobat 8 Professional as part of the CS3 Master Collection on a PC running Windows 7 x64.
Now, I'd read up about this in advance and found the dll file adobepdf.dll_64 prior to installation, but I was never asked for it. The installation ran to a successful conclusion without ever prompting me for the missing file. After installation I compared the installed file C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64\AdobePDF.dll with the .dll_64 version I'd extracted and they were identical.
Initially, everything seemed to be working fine, I was mostly using Acrobat as a reader, but I was occasionally generating small PDF files - no more than half-a-dozen pages - through applications like MS Word. This worked - and still works - fine, but I've noticed a problem now I've come to start exporting much larger files to PDF.
If I print a long report from MS Access to the Adobe PDF "printer", then the standard "Printing..." box pops up as does a dialog box for me to enter the name of the resulting PDF file. At this point the Distiller window (with the title "Creating Adobe PDF") opens and both the printer dialog in MS Access and the Distiller window start counting through the pages as they always do.  However, without fail, usually at somewhere between around 50 and 90 pages (but it varies each time I print, even if re-printing the exact same thing) the Distiller window stops counting pages and just stalls. The application's printer dialog carries on working its way through the pages until it gets to the end of what it's supposed to be printing. Eventually the Distiller window closes and the log file opens up automatically in Notepad. Aside from the exact page number at which it stops, the contents of the file is always the same. For example:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[Page: 1]%%
%%[Page: 2]%%
.  <snipped>
%%[Page: 84]%%
%%[Page: 85]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: showpage ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
The same kind of thing happens in InDesign (the only other application I could think of quickly where I had a document with a large number of pages which I could try to output) and that fails in a similar way whether I print the document to the Acrobat printer or Export it to PDF format.
However, the problem doesn't seem to be application related, instead there seems to be a cut-off point at around 30 pages. If I print (or export) to PDF something of no more than 30 pages (or I restrict the printing of something longer so that it outputs 30 pages or fewer) then the PDF file is nearly always generated OK.  If I go up to about 50 pages, most of the time it all appears to work OK but no file is produced. And more than 50 then the Distiller window stalling thing occurs.
I've updated all the applications in CS3 to the latest versions, so Acrobat Professional is now on version 8.2.3.
I know there are issues running Acrobat Professional 8 under Windows 7 x64, but I've not read of this specific problem in relation to that, so I wondered if that might be a red herring and there is a solution to this.
Thanks.

Just for the record, in case anyone else comes looking for a solution to the same problem, the issue appears to be with my Kaspersky Anti-Virus software. By setting a check mark against most of the exclusions in the Kaspersky application control for Acrobat Distiller everything now seems to be working OK.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my original posting.
