Well, since no one else has responded... yes, for the links to work,
you do need to have all the destination files open when you build the
book PDF. However, I don't know _why_. I suspect it's because FM
passes specific (a named location) location info into Acrobat that is
somehow checked for validity, but I don't _know_ that.

Hi,
We work on large sets of documentation that require links between various
Chapters, Sections, Books, etc.
Our final deliverables are in PDF format.
When creating the PDF file for a specific book, we have found that for some
reason, we need to open ALL of the other book files that are linked to the
current book in order for the links to work.
For example, if I'm printing the PDF for Section 5.3 book, and it contains
links to sections 2.3 and 7.8, we need to open the book files for 2.3 and 7.8
to print or sometimes the links don't work.
An example of the link verbage we are using in the marker is:
gotolink ../CHAP02/ER_SEC02_03.fm:sec231
Is this typical ? Since they are relative links, I really don't understand
why Framemaker would require all of the linked files to be open when creating
the book.
And... it only doesn't work "sometimes"....
Any thoughts?
