I am seeing the same errors, except that I print to PS using "Adobe PDF" and then distill to PDF. Headings, headers, and footers are sometimes munged, but only during the first few pages of the file. the errors show up on the screen as well as in print.
First, I'm going to update FM to 8.03 and then reprint to PS and distill. I'm going to change the font and see if that fixes the problem. All of the munged items use Tahoma. I'll also try changing the job options settings, like embedding the fonts and see if that changes anything. Meanwhile, if any of you know a fix or a workaround for this, I'd appreciate it if you would post iot to the list.

Is your coworker successfully creating PDFs from the books that give you trouble? Then you need to analyze what the differences are between your setup and your coworker's. Are there any errors recorded in the log files? It could be a font problem. Go to Distiller's Adobe PDF Settings dialog, Fonts page, and make sure that it's set to embed fonts. And set When embedding fails to Cancel job. That way, if it's a missing (or unembeddable) font, at least you'll know. :-) HTH! Richard Richard G.
