FrameMaker could not find Adobe PDF Printer

[changm98205895]

Hi,

FrameMaker downloaded via Creative Cloud on Aug. 7th and installed on the same day.

OS is Windows 10.

When I opened a book file in FrameMaker and want to "Save as PDF", it always failed.

The error message is :

I have tried solution 1 in Adobe PDF printer is missing | Manually install PDF printer​ . It didn't work.

And for solution 2, I couldn't find  Documents\*.pdf (Adobe PDF) in the drop-down list.

The following picture shows the content of distiller.zip in the FrameMaker_15_x64_LREFDJ(1) zip file I downloaded.

I only have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (not Pro), I'd like to know if this error comes from only having Acrobat Reader DC instead of Pro DC?

Looking forward to your replies and help.

Hi changm98205895:

FrameMaker downloaded via Creative Cloud on Aug. 7th and installed on the same day.

Purchasing and installing Adobe Acrobat Pro DC will solve this issue (free if you actually have a Creative Cloud subscription as per your question—but note that FrameMaker is not part of the Creative Cloud so perhaps you meant you downloaded it from Adobe's server).

However, when you install FrameMaker, if no copy of Acrobat is installed, the FrameMaker installer creates an Adobe PDF printer driver instance for use of FrameMaker to create PDF. Since that doesn't appear to have happened, you might try uninstalling FrameMaker and re-install it, carefully reading each alert box that pops up, and choosing yes when asked about installing the PDF printer driver.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I downloaded the FM from a link Adobe sent me via email after my company purchased it. It was not through creative cloud, a mistake I made in last post.

I uninstall FM and re-install again. But there was no alert boxes at all. And I sill couldn't do "Save book as PDF".

I'd recommend reaching out to the Adobe Tech Comm team at  techcomm@adobe.com to see if they can help with the installation issue.

I guess the problem was with the PDF distiller since they helped me update the distiller.
