    Saving as PDF should not be a problem in the newer versions of FrameMaker. This was a problem in old versions The solution back in the day was to choose File > Print and check Print To File in the print dialog box. Then distill the print file to pdf in Acrobat Distiller.

    I would suggest to first make sure you have a current version of FrameMaker. If you have an older version, make sure that you have installed any updaters.

    @siddharthm74773065  - what version of FM? What method are you trying (print to Adobe PDF, Save as PDF, Publish to PDF)? Do you have the "full" version of Acrobat or just the headless one that comes with FM?

    Moving to the FrameMaker forum since FrameMaker has unique considerations with regards to PDF creation, especially with the latest version of FrameMaker.
