When multiple ODS PRINTER PDF or ODS PDF statements are used to change
the style of a single PDF file instream, error messages are produced,
and the PDF file is not created.

To circumvent the problem, supply only one STYLE= specification to the
PDF file or create a Postscript file and use Adobe's Distiller to
distill the file into PDF format.

The following code replicates the error message:

   ods pdf file="Sample.pdf" style=printer;
   proc print data=sashelp.retail;
   run;
   ods pdf style=styles.sasdocprinter;
   proc print data=sashelp.retail;
   run;
   ods pdf close;

Following is a circumvention (PDFMARK instructs the PS file to have a
Table of Contents when it is distilled to PDF):

   ods printer pdfmark file="Sample.ps" style=printer;
   proc print data=sashelp.retail;
   run;
   ods printer pdfmark style=styles.sasdocprinter;
   proc print data=sashelp.retail;
   run;
   ods printer close;
