glad you finally got it started.

Sorry for my floppy explanations about the workflow. To be extra picky 
it should be:

WORKFLOW:
        LaTeX      (3 times, so that all necessary auxiliary files are 
produced)
--> dvips
--> Distiller
--> Acrobat Pro 7++
--> SAVE FILE IN ACROBAT (so that the documentlevel JavaScript is saved 
within the document)

If this important last step is missing (RE-SAVING), there will be asked 
for some missing *.fdf files when opening the PDF.

Under *aeb_pro*, this last step can be automized within the latex 
document when typing

    \begin{docassembly}
        \executeSave()
    \end{docassembly}

into the preamble before
     \begin{document}

Once these things are done, the produced PDF can be viewed with the 
Adobe Reader 7++ -- AR7++ is necessary, because it is a PDF Viewer that 
can handle the embedded JavaScript.

Thanks for the report!

Regards,

Juergen
