Hi Valerie,
With cross-references and hyperlinks, the only way to ensure that the PDF links work is to make sure the resulting PDFs are in the same relative location that the FrameMaker books were in. Or, vise versa: If you know how the PDFs are going to be stored relative to each other, you could organize the FrameMaker books to match this relative arrangement. After you find out how the PDFs are going to be stored, you may be able to use a third-party program to modify the links in the PDF. I use AutoBookmark Professional from www.evermap.com for this kind of thing. In any case, it is difficult to provide links between PDFs when you don't know how they are going to be stored relative to each other.

I know how to enumerate the chapters and cross-references within each volume, and how to enumerate the volumes and manage the cross-references within the book. One audience will use Volumes I and II; another will use Volumes I and III. Each of the three volumes will be a separate PDF file in some future electronic manual storage site. I have no way to know the paths for the file locations. What is the best way to make persistent cross references across volumes after the book is PDF'ed? Can it be done in Framemaker? -- Valerie Lipow [email protected]
