problem printing to PDF after system change

[Jim Owens]

It's late Friday on US Independence Day, and you won't get many answers, 
so I'll chime in for what it's worth (I'm in Canada).

My guess is that this is a printer driver problem. I don't know how you 
create PDFs, but I do it the reliable way: print to a PS file, then run 
Distiller on the PS file.

To print to a PS file, you need to set up a new local printer, specify 
Print to File, and then assign it the AdobePS Acrobat Distiller driver. 
This driver should be somewhere on your FrameMaker CD.

Probably that's not much help, but it may give you some ideas.
