Difference Between Save As and Print to Adobe PDF

[Fei Min Lorente]

Oh, sorry about that miscommunication. It makes sense that FrameMaker
would allow me to choose a destination for the PDF, but I can't change
it because I run the same autobuild application as the build machine on
my computer when I want to create and test all the output files (HTML as
well as PDF). Of course, it's not designed to be interactive, so if I
change the default location to anything but My Documents, it'll break.
So it's our limitation, not FrameMaker's.

This is not correct. You can actually set any default folder you want,
or you can set it to always prompt you for the path and filename.

set the Adobe PDF printer. Go to the Adobe PDF Settings tab and you will
find a list box for Adobe PDF Output Folder.
