Don't use the SaveAs function. Set your default printer to the Acrobat
Distiller print driver instance. Open Frame and print to a file. Then
Distill the file.

I've used this same set up for 2 other books in the doc set which was
highly successful and painless, yet this one is giving me more grey hair
than I had this morning. I've regenerated the book 5 times. Backed out
of FM and Acrobat, shut down the system and rebooted, and all those
other good things.
