Like Diane I found that installing 8.0.1 fixed this problem (it also
meant that the Adobe Reader "speak aloud" feature now works as per Frame
7 generated PDFs again, which it didn't properly with tagged PDFs
enabled).
In my case I saved to a PS file using the Adobe print driver and then
generated a PDF.
(As I do not have Acrobat 8 installed on my FrameMaker 8 test system, I
use the Adobe PDF Add-On that comes with FrameMaker 8. When I double
click on a PS file it appears to do nothing, but eventually a PDF and
log file get generated. Also, I found that after installing 8.0.1 I had
to reinstall the Adobe PDF Add-On by drilling down into the FrameMaker
installation software and running a low level installer; but this might
have been peculiar to my installation set up.)

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.

I did install the 8.0.1 patch and I still have the same PDF problem. I
still have to select the Tag option. Has anyone else found this to be
true?
