We use Windows XP operating system, Frame 7.2 (some of us may still be on 7.0), and Acrobat 7.0.
We organize our folders to have a main folder for the manual. That folder contains 2 sub-folders (fm_source and docs). fm_source contains all the Framemaker files that make up the book. In addition to the book and generated files, each Framemaker file is a chapter in the book. We have set up x-refs so that it is not a problem cross-referencing from one chapter to another within the book. My question, is, how do we set up cross-references so that we can cross-reference to a file (in our case, a chapter) in another book (which is embedded within a different folder and sub-folder). When we tried to do this using the same method for setting up x-refs within the book, it worked in FrameMaker, but it did not work once we created our PDFs. For example, we created a x-ref from Chapter 1 in Book A to Chapter 2 in Book B. We created a PDF of Book A and a PDF of Book B. When we click the link in Book A, it says it cannot find the file, and it gives the whole path of where it is looking for Book B. Do you know what we are doing wrong? Or, how we should be doing this?
