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

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Hi Emmy and Framers

There is a recent thread on Framers about the "Rely on system fonts" issue. It included the following, mostly from Dov Isaacs of Adobe:

The Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance that is used to create PDF   (either by printing to it or by using the FrameMaker Save   as PDF feature) has a special option in its "driver plug-in" component   labelled Rely on system fonts only; do not use document   fonts. This option is accessed as follows from the Adobe PDF printer:  

*   

Adobe PDF > Properties > Advanced   > Printing Defaults > Adobe PDF Settings  
*   

Adobe PDF > Properties > General >   Printing Preferences > Adobe PDF Settings
Both of these need to be set the same way.

There was more in the thread, but I wanted to note the fact that the setting must be turned off in two places if you want it to stick. For more information, Google "rely on system fonts" site:lists.frameusers.com.

Thank you all for attempting to help me with my Windows 7 problem. I eventually managed to create a pdf using the following procedure. 
  
  With the FM 9 doc open:
  1. Select File > Print. The Print Document window opens.
  2. Check Print to File box and change .prn to .ps.
  3. Change Printer to Adobe PDF and click Setup. The Print Setup window opens.
  4. Click Properties. The Adobe PDF Document Properties window opens.
  5. Uncheck "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts"
  6. Click Print. Voila, pdf.
  
  Seems to be working now. This list is a great resource. Even if the right answer doesn't show up, the suggestions are always interesting and may be useful in the future. Many thanks.
  
  Emmy
