Don't Iinstall Frame 8 If You PDF Your Books

[Diane Gaskill]

Thank you Valerie!  How did you find out what the workaround was?

We just ordered FM 8 for the whole department based on my recommendation.
My boss would not have been too happy if we could not PDF a book.

Oddly enough, though I am pretty sure I PDF a book in the beta version.  I
wonder what they did that caused the bug in the released version....

I'd be willing to bet they have a patch out soon.

Cheers,

Diane

Wrong! FrameMaker 8 DOES make PDFs with cross-references.

What you need to do is to create the Acrobat settings to Generate Tagged
PDF.

Until Adobe creates a patch, to generate PDF in 8, you must check Yes in the
Generate Acrobat Data > PDF Setup... > Links >G enerate Tagged PDF section
of the File > Print Book window.

This a known bug.
