Framemaker 7.1 embed fonts when saving as pdf

[Art Campbell]

Steve,

Yes, part of the answer is to use the correct tool, and SaveAs PDF ain't it.

The second part of the equation is to go into Distiller and set/edit the job
option so that the Embed Fronts option is activated.

Then print to the logical Acrobat printer with the correct job option and
you're done.

Don't for get the counter-intuitive setting on the FM Print dialog box where
you CHECK Acrobat Data and UNCHECK Print to File.
