Hi Ni, Is this maybe something that might be useful to you? https://foxyutils.com/ it's an online PDF creator
I'd be happy to generate one for you. accept my connection and we'll swap emails.
I may be a heretic by suggesting this. But it may be worth having a Celtx account. Web based, free and can open FD files. Never had a problem outputting PDFs in Celtx. Like I said, might be good as a fall back strategy. Celtx is not for everyone.
I haven't used FD in a long time but if you can export to Word then do that and then save as a PDF. Celtx is a good free alternative and Scrivener is the best writing (all forms of writing) software I've ever used, it's only $45, and will import/export FD files as well as PDFs.
I'd second what Dan G. mentioned. I have not had issues in FD regarding PDF transfer. If you have a registed copy, contact tech support.
Are you sure your "pdf printer" is installed correctly as well? (not an actual printer but a pdf exporter should be clickable in your "printer" tab; if not that could create issues as well Those are usually pre installed in the newer computers, however older pc's/laptops/... can sometimes miss a pdf processor
If it wont save as a pdf print as a pdf and you can save it to your computer.

You're all super helpful ... the problem is solved please all keep in contact - will friend you all!
You can use Primo PDF. Free program that acts as a "printer". It spits out any file or webpage in PDF. I use it despite FD's feature because I like it better.
