One of my co-workers has asked me to help her figure
out why her PDF does not have all the hyperlinks she
wanted to create in her manual. None of her x-refs to
tables became hyperlinks (in any of the chapters), but
all of the x-refs to headings (all levels of headings)
did. ...
When examining the links PDF in Acrobat/Reader, do you see links which "do
nothing" or are the links missing altogether?
If the problem hyperlinks are indeed links but simply don't take you
anywhere, make sure that the Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs
(PDF Setup, Links tab) is turned ON.
A sample .fm file, demonstrating how turning off this setting affects
random links, is available at
http://www.microtype.com/resources/bugs/Dests_hypertext.zip
And several real-life PDFs which have bad links related to the so-called
PDF Optimization can be found at http://www.microtype.com/Hmmms.html (the
May 2006 item is a PDF authored with FrameMaker 7.2, where almost half of
the cross-reference links are non-functional)
