Question
I have a 160 pages made in Adobe illustrator then dragged and dropped in InDesign to create a book. I need to print it in highdefinition. So when i try to save it as PDF on the 18 GB that are left of my hard-drive, it gives me an error for "insufficient memory",, and btw this message appears on the first quarter of the export process!!!!

Answer
What I think is happening is that your computer is having a hard time processing 160 pages. I've had this issue before. It could be because the drive is old, there's something wrong with the drive, or there's not enough ram. After doing everything shy of throwing the computer out, I saved my book in two parts and told the printer what I did. They then put it back together when it was time to print it. I'd highly suggest this because if you are having problems, they will have problems as well.
