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.
