Hello. I am compiling a dissertation and am experiencing an error when I include too much content. Once I have created the .dvi, I can use

dvips dissertation_publication.dvi

to create the .ps file. However, I am unable to convert the 83MB .ps to a .pdf file. I am using the command

ps2pdf dissertation_publication.ps 

and get the following error:
