Troubleshooting & help

The Distiller application bundled with the installer needs Visual C runtime libraries to install and run. Sometimes, the Distiller application does not recognize the Visual C runtime libraries even if they are installed on your system. This failure to detect the Visual C runtimes causes the installation of PDF Creation Add-on to fail. A workaround for this issue is available in the Missing Distiller error on saving a document as PDF article. 

There could be multiple reasons for this failure. See Cannot generate PDF of FrameMaker documents or books article for solutions. 

There are pre-defined templates that are available in the Admin Console to create packages for Adobe FrameMaker. For more details, see Adobe Templates for Packages.
