    When you installed FrameMaker, did you include the "headless" PDF creator/distiller? Do you also have Acrobat Pro installed? As I recall, having both can create conflicts, so if you do have both, try this:

     

    1. Uninstall Acrobat Pro.
    2. Uninstall FrameMaker.
    3. Reinstall Acrobat Pro.
    4. Reinstall FrameMaker with a custom installation and deselect the PDF creator. I forget what this looks like, but it should be an obvious selection.

    I have tried solution 1 in Adobe PDF printer is missing | Manually install PDF printer​ . It didn't work.

    And for solution 2, I couldn't find  Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) in the drop-down list.

     

    Also, I have tried https://helpx.adobe.com/framemaker/kb/unable-install-pdf-creation-add-on.html to install distiller, but I cannot locate the folder AdobePDFCreationAddOn12_x86_x64. 

     

    May I know if there are other solutions?

    Hi tim137,

     

    Which FrameMaker version do you have? Do you have the latest update?

     

    Your issue is something for the Adobe support. Contact tcssup@adobe.com

    They should be able to help you.

     

    Best regards
