You were able to "print to PDF" in every version of FrameMaker
to date. Simply print to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance
(Acrobat 4.x and 5.x), the Distiller Assistant printer instance
(Acrobat 3.x), or to a printer driver instance (to FILE:)
associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD file.

If you are asking about the infamous "save as PDF" feature,
I am glad to report that YES, it will work correctly in FrameMaker 7.
Members of the FrameMaker development and QE teams are working hard
to assure that even I am happy with the way it works.
(FrameMaker 7 will be bundled with Acrobat Distiller 5.0.5 that you
can install if you don't already have Acrobat 5.0.x. That installer
will indeed automatically create an Acrobat Distiller printer instance.)
With FrameMaker 7, you should NEVER, repeat NEVER, need to "print to
FILE" to get PostScript for distillation. It all works as it should!
The team is doing a great job (and has been very good-natured about
listening and responding to my incessant bellyaching about little 
things that needed tweaking!).
