In my FrameMaker book, I have cross-references within the book (using a
cross-reference format called "A") as well as cross-references to an
external file that is not included in the book (using a cross-reference
format called "B"). When I create a PDF, I don't want the
cross-references to the external file to become active links while of
course the internal links (format "A") should be clickable.
Is there an easy way of doing this?
Today I have to copy the complete book. Then I transform all
cross-references of type B (external file) to editable text. Then I
create the PDF. This works but it is cumbersome to make a copy of the
book each time and then just throw the copies away after the PDF has
been generated. In my source I don't want to remove the links to the
external FM file.
Ideally, the cross-reference format would have control over the
creation of links, but we are not there yet...
With my FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on, it is possible
to "disable" external cross-references pointing to a specific file/path
(link is removed but text/formatting remains intact) --
see http://www.microtype.com/TimeSavers.html (Links/General screen;
"Suppress x-refs when path or file name includes: .....").
Nothing has to be changed in the FM files or book; only a string
included in the path or file name has to be specified.
