Hello Framers, A client uncovered a problem that I was previously not aware of. If you insert matching newlink and gotolink markers in a document, and you Control+Alt+Click on the gotolink marker, FrameMaker will jump to the newlink marker as you would expect. However, after you make the PDF, the link no longer goes to the location of the named destination created by the newlink marker, but it goes to the named destination of the paragraph containing the marker. In most cases, you won't notice it, but if the paragraph starts on a different page than the marker location, then it becomes a problem.
Interestingly, a named destination for the newlink marker is created in the PDF, but the link does not point to that destination; it points to the named destination for the paragraph, which is at the start of the paragraph. Frankly, I am dumbfounded by this behavior. I tested it in FrameMaker 8 and 10 and it works the same. It looks like a case of Adobe trying to "help", but for this client, it makes these links unusable in many cases. If you are having trouble visualizing what I am talking about, you can download a sample PDF at http://www.rickquatro.com/resources/LinkTest.pdf or a zip file containing both the FrameMaker file and PDF: http://www.rickquatro.com/resources/LinkTest.zip Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-283-5045 585-219-8959 fax [email protected] http://www.frameexpert.com _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
