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...".

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.
