Why do I get the message "cannot write in print file specified"?

When I print from Framemaker 8 using the Adobe PDF printer driver, I get the message "Cannot write in print file specified."  And I am not able to generate ps file.  Why is this?  What could be the problem?

I am able to print to another printer - for color printer driver - of my office with no problems.  So I guess that I don't need the Adobe PDF printer driver, but it's an others on my team use documentation - I was wondering why it is not working for me now (even if it is used for).

Thank you

FM is not a true PDF Export. There is not a "SaveAsPDF", that comes silently prints (background task) a temp ps of the file using the AdobePDF printer instance, called Distiller with a specified joboptions file and deletes so the temp folder afterwards.

AdobePDF print through the PDF port, which is actually the same as the SaveAsPDF FM approach.

@Wish, have you checked that your AdobePDF printer instance pointing to the 'Adobe PDF' port (printer properties > Ports)? Alternatively, you can try setting the AdobePDF in the FILE: port.

Also check that you have permissions to write system level to where you try to put the temp FM ps file.
