I'm working on my first project in Frame 7, and have stumbled into some 
bookmark oddities when making PDFs. Here's what I'm seeing: 

--When setting the bookmark levels, I don't see all of the paragraph tags 
that I have defined throughout the book. Even after I do a 
"generate/update" operation, I _still_ don't see all of the paragraph 
tags. 

--When I set the bookmark levels for the various paragraph tags, and click 
"Set", FrameMaker goes through and saves all of the documents in the book, 
in theory saving the settings I just make. However, it doesn't save the 
changes. If I print the book to PDF again, the paragraph tage levels for 
the bookmarks are back the way they were originally. None of my changes 
are saved. 

--When I actually print the book to a PS file, the settings I specified 
for the bookmarks aren't used. In fact, some of the other PDF settings, 
like including named destinations for all paragraphs, aren't applied 
either. (I get Distiller messages indicating that destinations can't be 
found.) 

--When I try to use the setting that controls how many levels of bookmarks 
are showing, I set it to "None", because I don't want bookmarks expanded. 
When I save or print, the setting is changed to "268435453". I have a fair 
number of bookmark levels, but not 268 million! :-) 

--When I print, and distill with Distiller 5, I see bookmarks for 
generated files (like the index and TOC) that aren't in the list of 
paragraphs to bookmark. Apparently this is a problem with Distiller 5? I 
got that impression from a KnowledgeBase entry. 

Printing to a PostScript file, or doing the "Save as PDF" option both 
produce exactly the same odd results. 

I initially experienced these problems on a set of my documents. I tried 
saving as MIF and re-opening. Same problem. So, I tried the sample book 
that ships with Frame 7. Same problems. 

I was doing this work in Frame 7 on my Mac Powerbook running OS 9.2.1, 
with Adobe PS Driver 8.7.3. I thought maybe that was the issue. So, I 
tried working with the sample book on Frame 7 on Windows NT 4. I have the 
exact same issues there. So, it doesn't appear to be an OS problem, or a 
problem with my files. 

Has anyone else seen this odd bookmark/PDF behavior? I searched Adobe's 
site, but didn't find anything that relates to it. 

Hope someone can shed some light. Thanks in advance.
