[Framers] Win 10 Build 1709 Breaks FrameMaker Ability to make PDF.

Tue May 8 12:37:52 PDT 2018

When you check *Generate Acrobat Data*, then *Print to File* is
automatically checked.
Uncheck *Print to File* and click *Print*.
I find this gets around the system font issue and goes faster with no
noticeable quality or performance penalty.
