FM9: Problem with File->Save as PDF

Hello,

I'm using a German installation fo FrameMaker9 and will try to translate the actions and messages.

When I try to save my document  as pdf I get a message telling me to clear the printer option "rely on system fonts only". When I do that for the Adobe PDF printer everything seems to work fine.

But: The default printer on my laptop isn't (and shouldn't be) Adobe PDF, and  it looks like I have to manually select "Adobe PDF" in File->Print Setup everytime (i.e . at least once after starting FrameMaker) before I want to "save as pdf", which is annoying. Is there any way to get rid of this?

Software Versions:

FM 9.0p255

Adobe Reader 9.4.4

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro 9.4.4

OS: Windows 7

Thanks in advance for any advice given,

JF

    First thing I'd try is the SetPrint plugin, which sets your default printer to Adobe Acrobat/PDF printer in Frame ONLY.
