Hi Robert, We tried that and the named destination came through as M8.newlink.helpid. We could find no good way to scrub the "M8.newlink." out of the named destination without a 3rd party tool.

Current best practice is to insert a Hypertext marker with the Specify Named Destination (newlink <linkname>) option. Jennifer's source was apparently generating named destinations in FrameMaker 7, so she should not have to do anything to make it work with FrameMaker 9 other than adjust her PDF settings.
