Our process for creating PDFs from FrameMaker (Print Selected Files to ***.ps, then run Acrobat Distiller to create ***.pdf) leaves the PDF in a state where it opens to page 7, not page 1.

We have front matter in our books that are numbered i-vii. We're guessing that the problem is caused because Acrobat page 1 is Roman Numeral "i", and Acrobat page 7 is Arabic Numeral "1", but I don't really know that.

We have a workaround: opening the PDF in Adobe Acrobat, choosing File->Document Properties, clicking the Initial View tab, and changing the Open to Page Number setting to "1."

Is there anything we can do in our source files in Frame so we don't have to do this work around?

Thanks.

Dana
