After creating a book in FH I tried to save it as a PDF in a local folder. After clicking the "Save Book As" button FH stopped responding.
Your help would be appreciated.

Are you saying that when clicking Save Book As... it did not even offer PDF File... and Word-Processor Document (RTF)...?

Or did it get further into the PDF dialogue?

FH offers to save it in PDF (as well as RTF). There is no problem if you choose RTF. But the problem occurs when you select PDF and direct it to save it in a local folder that is not a FH folder.

You are absolutely correct. I don't recall anybody discovering that before.

The workaround is to save it within the Project's Public folder and then move the PDF file afterwards.

As you probably know FH V7 beta testing is underway and if I can repeat the problem there it may get fixed in FH V7.

Thank you very much Mike. In the short term I have been saving the book in RTF then converting it to PDF. A small problem with that is the RTF is usually opened with Word and Word automatically changes the page references in the index. There is a work around to that so your suggestion is best.

I have revisited this and tried again and wonder if you fell into the same trap as I did.
After using Browse to select a folder the Save button is clicked to update the dialogue target File name.
Then FH says [Not Responding] until you click OK and then it saves the PDF file satisfactorily.

Please confirm, or provide more details of the failure.
