Printing a PDF with Metacard

I'm trying to use Metacard to superimpose field text on a PDF
displayed in a player object.

Things work well until I try to print, at which point Metacard (2.5,
on Mac OSX 10.4) crashes.

Recipe:

Create a stack.  Create a field with text "test."  In the message box,
"Print Card".
Result:  card prints.

Now add a player object to the card you just printed; in its
properties palette, choose a PDF file to display in the player object.
 It displays properly.  In the message box, "Print Card."  Result:
crash.

Any diagnoses?  Has anyone successfully printed a player object that
contains a PDF?

Many thanks.
