The Save Records as PDF script step works properly in the FM 8.5A
application but not from the runtime solution.

This should be in the documentation, and has been mentioned here at least 3 times I can remember.

The runtime does not Save As PDF. There were licensing issues that FM Inc did not or chose not to resolve with Adobe for runtimes.

So you can, I believe, print normally to PDF through the OS (on Mac at least) but not through a script step.

It's not you, it's just not there.
