PDF doesn't open to page 1

There's a bug in FrameMaker 7.0 that causes a PDF created using Save As PDF to open to the wrong page. The PDF usually opens at the first page of the last file in the FrameMaker book file.

One way to fix this is to upgrade to 7.1. But if you don't want to upgrade, you can just add a command to your epilogue.ps file. You might have to search for the correct epilogue.ps file. It's in the
following folder on my XP machine:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Adobe PDF 6.0\Data

Open that file in a text editor (don't double-click it, or it will open with Distiller) and add the following code:

[ /PageMode /UseOutlines /Page 1 /DOCVIEW pdfmark

Once you've done that, you have to make Distiller read that file. On the Advanced tab of your job options, make sure that the Use Prologue.ps and Epilogue.ps check box is selected.

You can also manually change the default opening page using Acrobat. Plus, I believe that Shlomo has something with his TimeSavers tool that fixes this.
