Hi, Art, et. al. I am not on the latest version of FrameMaker anymore (stopped upgrading at FM 12), but this historical experience, as has been mentioned here before, has been different for me each time a new version of FrameMaker was released.
I had to go try _both_ Save as PDF and printing to the Adobe PDF printer to see which would work better for me. _Usually_ (and this is not definitive since I forget what worked well in each version now), "Save as PDF" worked better for me. YMMV, of course!
