In my source I don't want to remove the links to the >external FM file. Ideally, the cross-reference format would have control over the creation of links, but we are not there yet... With my FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on, it is possible to "disable" external cross-references pointing to a specific file/path (link is removed but text/formatting remains intact) -- see http://www.microtype.com/TimeSavers.html (Links/General screen; "Suppress x-refs when path or file name includes: ....."). Nothing has to be changed in the FM files or book; only a string included in the path or file name has to be specified.
