8.0.1 patch fixes FM Book to PDF issue

[Diane Gaskill]

Hi Randall,

Believe it or not, I don't actually know.  To get the patch, I clicked Help
> Updater in FM8 and it did the whole thing for me.  During the update, it
required that I close FM but that is all I had to do.

Hope this helps.

Diane

Where is the patch? I am unable to find it on the Adobe site. Thanks.

The PDF bug happens if you have xrefs in your document, and to work around
it
you can do just what Valerie said. It solves the problem.

But there is a better way.  Install the 8.0.1 patch that Adobe released last
week.  It fixes a long list of bugs, including that one.

Setting the Tagged PDF feature to "ON" in the Acrobat Settings dialog will
solve
the problem. I verified this with Adobe Tech Support. The failure to distill
a
book to PDF is a known issue with FM 8, which occurs regardless of whether
the
book is created in Structured or Unstructured FM. It is recommended that
everyone use this work-around, or distill each file in the book
individually,
until Adobe releases a patch.
