As Winfried related, this is caused by the current printer changing while FM has a document open. I seem to recall that there is a script available (SetPrint?) that can set the printer every time you open FM, avoiding this minor annoyance. On my system, the printer is normally set to the actual PCL laser printer at hand. I'm just in the habit of doing a
File🞃Print Setup…
for the specific project, usually to a PDF driver & custom page size.

The original goal of WYSIWYG on Windows was that text processing apps would render to the screen exactly as the document would appear on the target printer. Switching to a daisywheel driver was a shocking visual experience in FM then.

SetPrint does not run with FrameMaker 2022 any more. Pitty.

@Winfried Reng - I've got the source code for it, but haven't found anyone yet with the bandwidth to take it on converting it to run as a 64 bit app. (plus there are issues with Patch 4 of FM2022 messing up scripts now too).

Hi,

This message comes up, when your printer was changed. Different printers support fonts differently.

Therefore, always use Adobe PDF (or in some cases another PDF printer), when you create your PDFs.

Although I think that this is only important, when you print to a PostScript file.

When I use Save As PDF (with or without Distiller), then FrameMaker creates the PDF correctly. Also with EPS files which demand a PostScript printer. I use FrameMaker 17 and did not test on FM 16.

Older versions without the PDF engine migh be different.
