I encountered this problem in a PDF produced using the combination of FM8 + 
Acrobat 8 + "Save as PDF".
The "number is out of range" message is displayed upon opening the PDF in 
Acrobat/Reader.

Upon inspecting the Initial View settings in Acrobat (under Initial View), 
an excessively large number was displayed to the right of the Open to Page 
box (1234567890).

It turned out that the "Fit Width" setting for the "At Zoom" option in 
FrameMaker's PDF Settings dialog box (+"Save as PDF") was consistently 
responsible for the strange value and the related error. When choosing a 
value of "Default" or "Fit Page", the PDF was produced correctly.

This problem was not encountered when printing to a .PS file and distilling.
