Newbee here...Yes, I've been through the FAQs, and I've searched the forum...you'll forgive me if I missed something obvious.

FM 7, Windows XP Home (yes, I've read the postings on that one, but I can't help it!)

When I try to save a .fm document as a .pdf, I get an error message saying "cannot open the file *.ptf".

SO, I tried File>Print and selecting Acrobat Distiller as the printer, using both .prn and .ps formats (not simultaneously). This went okay, but when I tried to open the file via Distiller, there were no .ps or .prn files to be found!

I also tried following the instructions for preparing FM for PDF creation on page 499 in the manual, but I have no idea what a "Chooser" is or where to find it. Yes, I have installed the patches listed on the Adobe site.

Hope someone out there won't mind helping me out, even if it's just to point me to a previous message thread - I really need this feature!

Thanks in advance,

Joanna
