Hello Austin:
Could this be your problem, taken from the Microtype FM8 bug list (
http://www.microtype.com/FM_bugs.html):
Cross-file links in PDFs authored in FrameMaker 8.0 use Unicode-encoded
file paths and file names, which are only supported in Windows
Acrobat/Reader 8.x or MacOS Acrobat/Reader 7.x or later.
As a result, cross-file links are not functional when the PDF is displayed
in earlier Acrobat/Reader versions, even though the target files are
present.
When clicking the cross-file links, the following message is displayed:
"There was an error opening this document. The path does not exist". Some
PDFs with cross-file links trigger the following message upon opening in
Acrobat/Reader versions earlier than 8: "This file appears to use a new
format... Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of our
Acrobat products...".

Having recently upgraded on the XP PC from Adobe FrameMaker 7 and
Acrobat Pro 7 to FM8.0p266 and Acrobat Pro 8.1.1 and Adobe Reader
8.1.1, we can't get our distilled hypertext buttons to function
anymore. Our Kouroo project is dead in the water!
We've tried "View Generated PDF in Acrobat," and we've tried
"Generate PDF Bookmarks," and we've tried "Generate Tagged PDF," and
"Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs," etc.
The routine, which worked fine in FM7 in distilling Acrobat7 docs,
but doesn't seem to be functioning for us in version 8, has been
while distilling to "Embed All Page Thumbnails," and to "Manage
Embedded Index," and to "Automatically generate web links on All
pages," and to add a document description under "Properties," and to
"Reduce File Size," and then to "Enable for Commenting and Analysis
in Adobe Reader."
However, now, whenever one punches a hypertext button on a web page
that we have generated, the error message we always get is "There was
an error while performing an action. Attempt to call a method that
has not been implemented." These are hypertext buttons that work fine
on the PC, in connecting one FrameMaker8 document to another
FrameMaker8 document -- but in between two distilled Acrobat8
documents on the web, none of them work at all.
An example of this would be the interplay between
http://www.kouroo.info/kouroo/thumbnails/G/TheGrimkeSisters.pdf and
http://www.kouroo.info/kouroo/thumbnails/W/TheodoreWeld.pdf
Please somebody -- tell me that you do this successfully, that it
does still work in 8??? Reassurance would help a lot at this point.
