… specifically, how to set Adobe PDF as my default printer. I seem to remember related posts suggesting that on this Windows 7 PC there will be locked-down, Admin only settings and also some I can actually change and save myself. Didn't have this problem earlier, because IT Support at my last shop decided the best way to keep the only FM user out of their hair was to give him Admin rights and deny all responsibility <g>

You want the free SetPrint utility. It lets you set Adobe PDF as the

default printer for FrameMaker, without changing your default printer

elsewhere in Windows:

I'm sure the plug-in would help, but as I don't have Admin rights on this PC I can't install it. Other tips?

All seriousness aside, I'm wondering if setting preferences can be scripted in newer FM versions, and if users can create and run scripts without having to deal with Mordac, Preventer of Information Services.
