Thanks Michael! I figured out what was wrong - I had Adobe PDF as my default printer, but in the control panel I needed to turn off "Rey on system fonts only". Now my script works.
Thanks for the forum link! Perfect!

You might try updating FM with the latest patch and also check to see that you can use the FM interface to "Save As PDF" to that target location. One more thing to check: if Distiller hasn't been initialized on the system your using, that could cause problems. Might try just opening Distiller to ensure it's functioning. For FrameScript questions, you might have better luck over here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/framescript-users/ HTH, Mike > From: c.berts...@tecplot.com > To: framers@lists.frameusers.com > Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 15:06:51 -0700 > Subject: Framescript question > > System: MS Vista > Software: FM 9.0p230, FrameScript 5.2R1 > > I'm working on creating a script that automates all PDF builds for all our > documentation books and I seem to have run into a snag - I can get everything > to work so far except after my script opens the files, runs checks, applies > templates etc in FrameMaker, I haven't been able to command it to save the > book as a PDF.
