FrameMaker's control of bookmark collapse/expand state is not always 
consistent.

Other than using add-ons, you can quickly set the bookmark collapse/expand 
state in Acrobat by Ctrl-clicking the [-] icon to the left of a bookmark 
will collapse *all* subordinate bookmarks (and likewise, Ctrl-cliking the 
[+] icon will expand all subordinate bookmarks). Use Save or Save As to 
store the bookmark collapse/expand state in the PDF.
