Question

Distiller isn't available

Hi,

I try to save my book as PDF and get the message that the distiller isn't available (File > Save as PDF). I reinstalled FrameMaker (2019 15.05.838) which didn't help.

 

I can see, that in the Publish pod the Preset name is empty and I can't chosse one. I don't have a full version of Acrobat installed just the distiller that should come with FrameMaker.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thx.

Hi,

 

Obviously this happens sometimes. There are other threads which discuss this. Maybe you can check, if their solutions help.

You can also send an e-mail to the Adobe support: tcssup@adobe.com
