Yes there are some problems. Have you applied the free patches for
FM 7.0 so that you're running version 7.0p578? (see Help>About)

From MicroType's website (bugs in FM 7.0):
When converting a FrameMaker book to PDF: default opening page in
PS/PDF may be incorrectly set to be the first page of last chapter in
a book; in other cases, the value in the "Open PDF Document on Page"
field is ignored, and 1 is used by default (first page in first chapter,
which may inappropriate if you have front-matter items).
Workarounds:
(1) Modify the individual PDF in Acrobat (File > Document Properties
 > Open Options, Page Number)
(2) Add a command controlling the opening page to the epilogue.ps file,
 so that all distilled files will be affected
(3) Specify the opening page/destination through the Defaults Assistant
 (TimeSavers add-on)

Perhaps this will solve some of your problems.
