PDF and Font Problems

Hi Framers,

I'm having trouble converting my annual book to PDF. Using FM 
11.0.2.384 in Windows 7. Printer is Adobe PDF.

PDF Conversion: Initial attempts to convert whole book to PDF failed. 
Console error originally showed print setting for every color is 
inconsistent in the TOC file and show/hide comment setting is 
inconsistent in two of the 13 files in the book; Acrobat log showed 
empty file error.

For subsequent attempts, book error report advises optimizing PDF 
size for 8 files (of 13). To optimize, I open the first listed file, 
then open the optimization options pane and select this document only 
(not all linked files). Then I run the optimization, and a dialog box 
appears indicating FM has finished optimizing the intended file AND 
linked files, and that it processed ZERO files. No change in behavior 
if I tell FM to force optimize previously optimized files. On next 
conversion attempt, console reads "[PDFSize] Dumping Error 
Information [PDFSize]" but PDF generates. When converting book 
thereafter, the book error log displays the same files as needing 
optimization even though that was already done. Converting the files 
to PDF individually results in the same console optimization error.

Font Error: In the fully converted book, one file displays 
typographic errors in body text such that characters overlap each 
other. Error can appear on any character(s). Error does not begin 
until halfway through the first problem file, but continues through 
the next several files. Problem begins on page 5 of a 9-page chapter 
file--6 of 13 files; page 54 of 650+ for whole book. Affected font is 
Adobe Garamond Pro (open type) only when used as body font. Chapter 
files positioned in the book before the first affected file and use 
this Garamond as body text are not affected.

Book files that do not use Garamond as the main body font are not 
affected. The error isn't visible on screen or in paper output.

Saving the files individually in MIF format resolves the font error 
for all affected files EXCEPT the file in which it originated.

Thoughts on solving the remaining font error? And how to properly 
convert the whole book?

Thanks for any help,
Karen
