Running Framemaker Version 9.0p250 on Windows XP.
I printed a book using the Adobe PDF printer driver. There are scattered instances where there are significant spaces (between 3 and 12 n-spaces) between consecutive letters of a word or between two words. For example:
Inter-word spacing examples: main processes employed and the functional
Intra-word spacing examples: audi t Descrip tion
These spaces do not exist in the Framemaker source files. In addition, when I copy the content containing these spaces to the Clipboard and then paste them into this message, the odd spacing disappears. However, when I print the pages containing these errors to my local or network printers, the pages print with the strange spacing intact.
I checked maker.ini and the setting is "DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=On" as expected.
Any help much appreciated!

Val,
What font are you using? There are some issues with fonts supporting only advanced OpenType kerning (instead of traditional kerning). The workaround for those fonts is to turn off the kerning option in the paragraph designer.
Have you tried creating the PDF using Save As PDF (with and without conversion from CMYK to RGB selected)?
Another thing: Does the intended font turn up in the PDF or is some kind of replacement font?

I'd also suggest running the MS Hotfix that the Adobe Tech blog guys link to (or search for Hotfix - Art Campbell has refs to it all the time)- it seems to solve all sorts of weird issues when printing to PDF.

Information about the hotfix is here:

Over the years I've occasionally seen extremely large spaces like that but it was always resolved by a reboot.
