#### 36.4.3.3 Configuring PDF output: runfm -pdfsave option

If you are using FrameMaker version 8 (fully patched) or a later version, you can direct runfm to generate PDF output via the FrameMaker Save As PDF function instead of the Print function. You can avoid worrying about whether Adobe PDF is the default printer, and you can continue to use Microtype TimeSavers, which works with Distiller X only if Distiller is run with the -f option. Save As PDF from within FrameMaker versions 8 (patched), 9, 10, and 11 all use Distiller with the -f option.

As with -pdf, do not specify -print in the same command.

If you specify -close all in the same command as -pdfsave, FrameMaker leaves debris behind (a .tps file and a .tpdf file). However, you can use -close book without this problem.
