In response to an offlist inquiry:
I went and checked and in BOTH places where this option should be TURNED ON is indeed turned on. (Adobe PDF Printing Preferences and Adobe PDF Printer Properties > Advanced > Printing Default.)
I have had this option checked in both places on multiple systems (Win 7, Win 10) for both FM 10 and 13 and two systems with FM 10/12 have this checked and they are Win 7 64-bit. however, all of a sudden, this single Windows 10 system on which the function has been working for over a year has jst cr*pped out for no apparent reason. And I am on build 1709, not 1803, which MS has stopped rolling out anyway for known PDF issues.
I can still Save as PDF and I can print to a PDF but as we all know, being able to print to a PS file and then distill it is much more advantageous for certain FM books/files. Any/all thoughts are sincerely appreciated.

OK, so here's the full explanation:
I can Save as PDF and I can print the book as a PDF using the Adobe PDF printer (with Print to File not selected), but all of a sudden, I cannot select Print to File and print any FM book/file to a postscript file so that I can distill this file to a PDF, which has distinct advantages as we all know when working with certain FM books. The ability to print any FM file in either FM10 or 12 to a postscript file on Windows 10 has just cr*pped out totally. Any and all thoughts are sincerely appreciated.

Just tried this and I get exactly the same message as before.

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.
