Cross-references to Figure/Table captions work in FM, but not in PDF

Hi, guys...something weird. I place Figure and Table numbers in my FM
7.2 documents by cross-referencing to the figure or table caption. 
The captions are composed acording to the following:

F:Figure <n+>:\ 
T:Table <n+>:\ 

When I CTRL ALT Mouseover, in the FM document, the link works fine. I
can click the FM X-ref and it goes to the figure or table caption.

The X-ref "T" markers appears in the captions just like they should.

However, when I convert to PDF using version 7.0 (Distiller 7.0.5)
(Save As -> PDF) (PDF version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.0), all the types of
links work in the document except for Figure or Table X-Refs. When I
place the cursor over the Fig or Table X-Refs, it turns to a pointy
hand as it should, the whole X-ref string turns reverse video when I
click as it should, but nothing happens.

I even tried applying the complete range of X-ref formats to the
cross reference just to see if it was because of a x-ref format, but
they all act the same.

Anyone know what might be happening?
