In September 1969 Adler coordinated the world premiere of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" for 20th Century Fox and handled the ticket sales and management of the premiere for Yale University. She continued illustrating, with work published by the John Day Company.

In the mid-1970s Adler returned to writing, as well as illustrating, when Franklin Watts published her book, Metric Puzzles, followed shortly thereafter by Math Puzzles and Geography Puzzles. In 1976 Adler remarried and for a brief time, in the early 1990s, worked under the name of Peggy Adler Robohm.
