Unavailable font

[Ridder, Fred]

That is an excellent statement of the one remaining "gotcha" 
with the Save As PDF feature. It was really broken in 5.x, partly
fixed in 6.0, and mostly fixed in 7.x, but still only works reliably 
if the default printer for FrameMaker is Adobe PDF. Somebody 
has a plug-in that can configure FrameMaker to have a different
default printer than the Windows default, but I don't remember 
the details at the moment (a flu bug has dulled my memory...).

But the other solution is the one I use: I never use Save As PDF.
Printing a file to a watched folder using the Adobe PDF driver 
is nearly as fast as Save As PDF and is 100% reliable.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Christine:

I've had the same problem.

Best as I can recall, it popped up when trying to "Save as PDF" when my
HP
deskjet was listed as the default printer. However, in my case, FM did
no
automatic switching. When I saved the PDF nothing showed up, despite the
distiller going through its thing. I can only successfully save a PDF
when
the Adobe PDF printer is the default.
