Two wild stabs at your problem:

1. I recall a time when I was getting no PDF generation. It turned out
that in File> Preferences> General, I had Cross-Platform File Naming set
to Macintosh on a Windows computer, and my file name was one character
too long for the Mac 31-character (or whatever) limit. FM actually let
me go through something like four dialog boxes toward creating the PDF,
but gave me no clue while it was failing.
2. I also had problems with Acrobat X on Windows 7 64-bit. I was getting
no PDFs. It turned out that Acrobat updates, both 10.0.1 and 10.0.2 were
trashing the port setting for the Adobe PDF printer and setting it to
COM1:! It was necessary to delete Adobe PDF printer and do a repair
install to fix the issue.

Hmmm. Thanks, Mike. I will definitely check out those possibilities,
especially since, whenever I print fron FM (or try to print to pdF), I get a
notice that "Your font information has changed." The file still prints fine
from FM, but maybe that's a clue to one of the situations you mention.
