"Save As PDF" Not Working; Merging PDF Files via Exchange

[Robin Clark <rmclark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Fellow Framers,

I have 2 questions/problems WRT generating and manipulating a PDF. 

(My system is running FM 5.5.6, Exchange 3.01, Distiller 3.02, Driver 4.2.4,
Win95.)

(1)	Suddenly I am unable to create PDF files via the "Save As PDF"
function. Last week, I could PDF blissfully. This week, none of my books
survive the journey - Distiller promptly flushes (before processing the
first page), displaying a FmPA postscript error. The driver postscript
properties are set to "optimize for portability". As far as I can tell, all
seems well with the book files, etc. Nothing in my system has changed from
last week.

(2)	Let's say I have Book1. I create 2 PDF files from this book via the
traditional FM2PS2PDF route: one with all chapters except the appendix
(PDF_A); one with just the landscape appendix (PDF_B). After I insert PDF_B
into PDF_A via Exchange and save the results, the following oddities happen:
*	None of the appendix bookmarks work.
*	None of the cross-references between core manual and appendix work
(I'm assuming this occurs because, once they exist within the PDF world, the
cross-references are PDF specific rather than, say, book or file specific).
How do I make these xrefs hot again - "gotolink" commands at the file level?

*	If a user were to make the unwise decision to click on one of the
nonfunctional xref links, Acrobat (Reader or Exchange) opens the unmerged
PDF_A (which officially no longer exists, as it was overwritten!).

What is going on?

Thanks!
