A couple ideas for you to kick around: First, there is a patch release for Acrobat out, from 8 to 8.1... may want to check the status of that.
Second, are you getting any log files from the distiller process that may contain error information. Third, check to make sure that the Acrobat distiller is your default printer. Are you opening all the component chapter files before distiling? There have been a couple threads on other lists that mention turning On the Create Tagged PDF option seems to improve things....
