    I used to know how to do this, but I can't remember. I can't believe that this isn't just on the knowledge base, but I got no responses to my query.

    In FM use File > Print Setup.

    Select the AdobePDF printer instance and click on the Properties button.

    In the Adobe PDF Settings tabs, de-select the "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" option.

    Actually, I tried those steps and they had no effect with my ability to make a PDF at all.

    What it turned out being is that I have to manually select AdobePDF as the printer every time I make a PDF. I didn’t used to have to do this, FrameMaker was smart enough to do it itself when I picked Save As PDF, but something about the updated combination of Adobe PDF and Framemaker has caused me to have to do this every time. It took me about two hours to figure this out the first time, and about an hour to remember it this time.

    This is extremely inconvenient, and you’d think that since Adobe owns both products, they could handle it better. Since I only use FrameMaker occasionally anymore, I have to keep reminding myself how to do this every six months or so.
