Steve ...
The map to book conversion process should relink the @hrefs to the new
FM files .. you shouldn't have to do anything. If the @hrefs are
pointing at the source DITA files, there's no way that the links will
ever work (since they will always point at the wrong place), and the
page numbers are in fact correct since the topics always start at page #1.
You should install the two FM10 updates and see if that fixes the
problem. If not .. you should use DITA-FMx which does this (and many
other things) correctly. :)

Hi Scott,
No, they're built in the source topics, so they're referencing the topics.
Should I be building my xrefs in the resulting fm files? I'm not sure how to
make them reference the genned FM files.
I have not applied any FM10 updates.

Subject: Re: Xref page numbering not correct
Hi Steve...
Hmm .. check to see where the @hrefs are pointing .. do they reference the
generated FM files or do they reference the source DITA topics? They should
be referencing the generated FM files (so the links work in the PDF and the
page numbers are correct). At one point FM-DITA had a problem with this
(leaving the @hrefs pointing at the DITA topics), but I thought this had
been fixed. Have you applied the two FM10 updates?

Hello,
Pagination is all set in the book (into which I've referenced all of
the composite fm files, which are themselves the result of doing a
"Save Ditamap As..." for each of my section-level dita maps).
The resulting pdf is correct as far as the page numbering in the
footers, as well as the numbering in the TOC. Xrefs still read as "see
<topic name> on page 1."
Thank you.

Hi Steve...
I'll bet that the page numbers are also all "1". The cross-refs are
correct .. you need to set up the pagination for the book then update
the book, and the page numbers should update as well as the cross-refs.
BTW .. you might send FM DITA questions to the framemaker-dita Yahoo
group .. you'll find more people who are likely to have the answer to
your question.
Cheers!

Hi,
I'm using FM10 and dita 1.2 template/edd.
For some reason(s), cross reference page numbering is not working.
I'm mapping all of my xml topics into dita maps, converting those
dita maps into composite fm files, adding those composite fms to a
book, generating TOC, adding front matter, etc.
In the DITA Cross-Reference dialog, I'm using the "xref" DITA
element, and the "<$paratext>" on page <$pagenum"> format.
I update the book, and generate my pdf. All of the page numbers in
the cross references are "1".
Any idea what's going on? Am I using the wrong method to generate a book?
Thank you.
