Yes. The size of PDFs is limited to 10^{10} Bytes, and you can
have only 2^{23}-1 objects in a PDF. And each page uses at least
one object. So the limit is probably 2^22 pages.

You need to increase the main memory TeX uses (see also
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?question=231). How this
is done depends on the TeX distribution you are using. Which is
it?
