I have had the problem in both Acrobat 7 & 8, although it generally happens only with a particular client's docs that use Akzidenz Grotesk fonts. I can't remember for certain, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it with Frame 8 -- I think it's an Acrobat issue more than a Frame issue, but what do I know? Deleting the fntcache.dat file & restarting (with or without cursing under my breath) is the only reliable fix I've found.

Sometimes, FrameMaker crashes when generating the PDF (using Save as PDF). And, like Alan said, deleting the fntcache.dat and restarting Windows resolves the problem: 1. In Frame, Save as PDF: FM crashes. 2. Restart Windows and try again: same result, FM crashes. 3. Delete fntcache.dat and restart Windows. 4. FM: Save as PDF. Everything's fine now.
