I am trying to create a hyperlink to a PDF. Basically, when the user
clicks the link, I want a separate PDF file to open. I'm working in
FrameMaker 7, but the finished document will be published as a PDF. ...
The PDF I want to link is located in a folder on our network, not on a
website; otherwise, I'd use the Go to URL command from Special >
Hypertext.
A generic link to an external PDF can be created using the built-in FM
hypertext marker:
message openfile path/filename.pdf
The target PDF will open at the default opening page; "new window" or "same
window" applied according to the local Acrobat/Reader preference.
Other hypertext markers (gotolink/gotopage or openlink/openpage) can be
translated to a similar link upon conversion to PDF, but link
validity/success may be dependent on other factors (e.g. authoring
application for the target PDF being FM, specific destinations/page numbers
present, chapter vs. book file issues).
