FrameMaker still uses whatever your default printer is.
SetPrint and the other Sundorne Communications utilities haven't been
updated in 15 years. I'm not certain the company is even in business

the source code, and yes,
Your machine is kind of light weight for intensive publishing. I'd
definitely try to boost the RAM.
Also, you don't say if the files are all local or on a LAN/server
somewhere, which will create another bottleneck if they have to be opened
locally, which probably involves some virus checking.

Yes, find the bottleneck first, if possible, then upgrade to fix the known
problem. In the last century, one new FM UNIX release was extremely
sluggish in any operation that involved printers. Of course, formating FM
text for the screen involves the printer. The culprit turned out to be a

Don't spend money upgrading any of the hardware without using Task

but this is also automated. You can still use Save As PDF.

Actually, 32-bit or 64-bit, regardless of machine specs, FrameMaker is a
performance dog. It's horrible... and I say that as someone who loves the
software itself... but its resource utilization is GawdAwful(tm).
Not just during rendering phases, but Frame polls all opened pods/dialogs with
I haven't used Frame since mid-2017 but I'm about to install it for my

I seem to remember that there were some issues using unstructured FrameMaker

In that case, you don't need to worry - there's an entirely new PDF generator
