Hi,
I am using Save as pdf for an FM 7.2 book.
I am wondering why each time I save as pdf the FrameMaker Console says:
The Times Font is not available.Times New Roman will be used in
this session.
As far as I know I am not using Times in my FM book. Where could this be
coming from? I have

this something that can be done in Word?

It's probably a carry over from an older set of tags or imported text
from another file.
If you're sure it's not affecting any tags, just turn off Remember

I had never tried opening PDFs in FrameMaker. Upon seeing the above
