Print to Booklet Error Message in InDesign

I am attempting to "Print Booklet" from InDesign using a PC. My booklet is 16 pages. When I select Print Booklet and my printer is Adobe PDF, it gets through 5 pages and then stops, with the error message posted below. I've tried to remove page 5, 6, and 7 altogether. I've also tried just removing single elements from those pages, but nothing seems to work. In fact, when I removed the pages altogether, it would stop printing at earlier pages. Any idea how to correct this?

    The PPD gets selected in Print Booklet>Print Settings. It should be Adobe PDF 9.0:

    I want to save it as a PDF booket, not a Postscript file.

    Can you show a screen capture of your Print Booklet>Print Settings?

    PPD = PostScript Printer Definition file. It's the file that controls how printed PDFs are made. Search your Windows computer for *.ppd and get back to us with its file name.
