Saving as PDF not working

  • September 2, 2018

I am using FM 2017 on a trial basis to prepare a single-chapter document (that is, not a book). When I try to save as PDF, the Save Document dialog appears and I select how and where to save the PDF. Then, the PDF Setup dialog appears. When I click either Set or Cancel, FM does not save the document as a PDF.

Any help would be appreciated.

Found the Adobe PDF printer, but that didn't work either:


Please update your Windows 10 with latest update from Microsoft. This issue has been fixed.

Hi Jay:

Try File > Print with Print to File off, Generate Acrobat Data on and Printer: Adobe PDF.

Thank you, Barb, but if you notice that, while similar, you have attached a screenshot of the Print Document dialog. That dialog does not appear when I try to Save as PDF. After I select a file name and location, the PDF Setup dialog appears:

I do notice that you are printing to Adobe PDF printer. I don't have that option, so maybe I'll look into it. BTW I can print to PDF using the Microsoft Print to PDF printer, but it doesn't offer the exact size of this particular document.

Thanks, again.
