Thanks to the people who sent me great sample scripts and links to framescript forum! I figured out my problem - I had Adobe PDF set as my default printer, but I also needed to go to the preferences for the Adobe PDF printer and turn off "Rely on system fonts only..." I thought I had done that already but it needed to be done again. Now my script works fine! Hurray for PDF build automation...

I'm working on creating a script that automates all PDF builds for all our documentation books and I seem to have run into a snag - I can get everything to work so far except after my script opens the files, runs checks, applies templates etc in FrameMaker, I haven't been able to command it to save the book as a PDF. For example, here's my current simplified test script that opens a book, opens its files, and saves it as a PDF. Everything happens except no PDF save, no PDF created. Maybe someone could spot what I'm missing? Did some requirement of FrameScript change with FrameMaker 9? (This used to work in FrameMaker 7, with an earlier version of FrameScript :] )
