TOC help in Framemaker 8

[Lester C. Smalley]

Check the PDF settings for this book - and possible the TOC file itself.
You may want to compare the problem docs with the books that print
successfully.  

I don't have FM 8 but in v 7.2 under the PDF settings (via the print
dialog), I seem to recall that having the option for generating tagged
PDF enabled caused problems.  I'm sure more knowledgeable people will
correct me....

|     cross-references and corresponding markers and then replaced 
|     them, I was able to build a PDF of the book (without the TOC).
|  
| (2) I added the TOC back to the book, but receive the following
|     errors in my log:
| 
| 	%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: get ]%%
| 	 
| 	Stack:
| 	0
| 	-null-

| 	-null-

| 	[0 0 0]
| 	/Border
| 	[1050 3380 7650 3143]
| 	/Rect
| 	-mark-
|  
| (3) I deleted the TOC file and its backup and created a new TOC.
|     I received the same errors as above.
|  
| (4) I deleted the new TOC file and created a new one, with only one
|     paragraph tag.  Same errors.  
|  
| (5) I cycled through all of the paragraph tags that I traditionally
|     include in the TOC, deleting the old file and creating a new one
|     each time.  Same errors.
|  
| Can anyone point in me in the right direction?
|  
| thanks in advance for your help,
