Somewhat OT: Bookmarks in PDF Jumping to Wrong View

[Peter Gold]

Hi, Susan:

It's possible that your PDFs are set to open in either

* Default viewing mode, and the default view setting for your Reader or 
Acrobat is set to Continuous, which allows scrolling across partial pages

* Continuous viewing mode

Setting the viewing mode for your PDFs to single page viewing mode, or 
side-by-side page viewing mode, would probably stop the effect you're 
seeing. I don't believe you can set this in FrameMaker, but with Acrobat 
Professional 6 or later, you can use batch processing to create a 
process to set the opening view properties for a whole directory-full of 
PDFs. Check your Acrobat Help for Batch.
