I'm not sure exactly what day I updated my Distiller 8 to the latest 8.1.2, but now, PDFs created with Distiller, whether from Frame in Classic or from an OS X app, can't be imported into FrameMaker 7 for Mac. I get an error that Frame can't load the document (39251:-1) and the console posts this error: 

  Error in function TryToImportPDFIntoObject, status=IMPORTPDFCantAddPDFFacet

Setting Distiller to save down to earlier version does not work, and neither does opening it in Acrobat and doing a save. However, I am not out of luck: If I distill it with Apple Preview, it works fine. Also, PDFs made with earlier Distiller work fine.

Frankly I don't expect any specific answers, but I thought I'd post my "God Save the Macintosh" rant anyway!
