Can't produce PDF from FM 9 + Acr 9 on Windows 7 -- Solution Found

[Mike Wickham]

I don't have this whole thread in front of me to remember what the initial 
problem was, but you can probably also eliminate steps 2 and 3 by installing 
the free SetPrint utility 
(http://sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm). It sets the Adobe 
PDF virtual printer as the default for FrameMaker (without changing it 
anywhere else in Windows).
