ps, it doesn’t make a difference.) If you’d like to Generate Acrobat Data you can use the same settings described in step number 2. You can set the filename and extension by typing in the text box to the right of the Browse button. Start by checking Print to File and use the Browse button to indicate where you want to save the file. When all else fails, you can create a PostScript file and then convert it to a PDF in a two-step process. Double check that Print to File is still unchecked, and then chose Print when you are ready to go. Click on Generate Acrobat Data and click the PDF Setup button to set up your conversion options, including Settings, Bookmarks, Tags & Links (shown below step #1). The print option also gives you easy access to the PDF Settings dialog box. Pick OK twice to return to the Print Document Dialog box. (If you need more information on system fonts vs document fonts see “ Adobe FrameMaker: Rely on System Fonts Only, Do Not Use Document Fonts“.) You have the option of clicking on the Properties button to make additional adjustments, including setting security options, viewing the results automatically, adding document information (which FrameMaker reads from File > File Info) and whether to rely on system fonts or document fonts. Start by unchecking Print to File, and then click on the Setup button to choose the Adobe PDF printer. After choosing where to save your file, you will be presented with a dialog box to set up your conversion options, including Settings, Bookmarks, Tags & Links. You can initiate this command from a book file or a document file. This is the recommended method of creating a PDF from FrameMaker. There have been many times over the years when I’ve had to try multiple techniques to produce a PDF from FrameMaker. However, my 25 years of FrameMaker production experience have shown this to not always the case.

Creating a PDF from FrameMaker should be so simple. There are times when I’m really glad I’m an Adobe Acrobat Certified Instructor, and this is one of them. The only difference is that I have Adobe Acrobat X version 10.1.2 and she has 9… is there a magic setting I am overlooking? I cannot print to a PDF, yet I can do it from my co-worker’s computer. I have FrameMaker 10, so does my co-worker.

I am sorry to bother you, but I have a quick question. This should be so easy, right? And usually it is, but I just received this inquiry from a former Adobe FrameMaker 9/10 student:
