Save as PDF causing crash--but never when stepping thru it.

I have a script that creates a PDF and then proceeds to append 4 other sections of a report to that PDF. It works great for the most part, but my client is crashing with some records.

 

I can repeat the crashes they are experiencing. But never when I step through it with the Script Debugger!

 

So purely at a hunch level I'm wondering if slowing the script down might resolve the problem. I'm not sure of the best way to do that.

 

Thoughts, anyone? 

 

In the spirit of disclosure: the document includes SVG header and footer and some pages have 4 or 5 other graphics.

Solved.

 

A guy on FileMaker's forum suggested a 1 second delay after each append. That worked.
