I had a multitude of problems with Framemaker 7.2 crashing after installing InDesign CS3. I'm posting my current solutions here in case any of these tips or tricks help anyone.

The Save As ...PDF no longer works. I have to take the long way around to generate a PDF.
1. File/Print Setup.
   In Print Setup, choose Adobe PDF as the printer name.
   Select Properties.
   Uncheck the box "Rely on system fonts only..."
   OK
2. File/Print.
   Make sure Print to File and Generate Acrobat Data are checked.
   Print.
   (generates a .ps file.)
3. Double-click on the .ps file to kick off Distiller to generate the PDF.
4. Then, I check my pdf to see if it is missing any text, especially in my graphics. If it is, I know it is time to clear out my fntcache.dat file and try again. (I need to do this about once a week.)
5. To clear fntcache.dat:
   Go to c:\winnt\system32\ and search for hidden file fntcache.dat and delete it.
6. Restart your PC - this is important!!
7. Do Steps 1-4 again - and I have a final PDF!!

Hope this helps somebody!
