I've never tried it for a tel URI, but a "Go to URL" FM hypertext command
_might_ work.
1) In the FM file, highlight the telephone number and apply the char tag you're
using for links.
2) With the number selected or the cursor within it, select Special >
Hypertext.
3) In the dialog box, set Command to Go to URL and in the text box, specify the
command like this:
message URL tel: 940-453-4538
4) Click New Hypertext Marker.
No guarantees. As Rick suggested, you may want to test first with a link you
create manually in Acrobat. But then, it doesn't take long to do the above and
then save as PDF.
