[QUOTE="krs, post: 1921025, member: 67742"] I don't think free drive space as a percentage of total drive space makes any sense with the large storage people now often get. That was a reasonable way to define this years ago. Two points come to mind: 1. If my drive had been a 250 GB drive, free drive space of 75 GB (30%) would be considered acceptable, but now when using a larger drive, one suddenly needs 258 GB of additional free space? Makes on sense to me. 2. A 2017 MacBook Air we use every day hasa 500 GB SSD with 40GB of free space and it runs just fine with no issues at all. If one looks on the net,the recommendations vary all the way from a low of 5% to a high of 30%,with 10% a number often quoted. But when I get some more time later this week, I will make a clone of my drive, delete enough files to get to 50% free space and run Acrobat Adobe again. In the meantime I tried running OCR downgrading image resolution to 150 dpi from the default 600 dpi that I normally use. This time I only got to page 70 (rather than page 77) and this message came up - at least the whole message showed this time. Page 70 btw had very little text, mostly images.
