There is a utility called "Bookmark Docs", http://www.bookmarkdocs.com/. Just a thought.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I've come into a situation where I need to maintain an online help system that uses a PDF document as the target. When you click a Help button in a dialog box it's supposed to bring up a particular page (or go to a particular heading) in the PDF - not just open the PDF on page 1. Does anyone know how this might be done? The PDF is created from FrameMaker so I'm assuming there must be markers in the FrameMaker files somewhere but I can't find them, or I'm not sure what to look for. The person who created this system isn't here anymore so I'm trying to figure out what he did to make this work. When it worked the PDF was created from FrameMaker 7; I'm using FrameMaker 9. It appears all of the Help buttons in the product are broken now - they open up the PDF file I created in FM 9 but only to the first page, so they aren't context-sensitive anymore. I don't know if upgrading to FM 9 made a difference here or not. I know using PDF for context-sensitive help isn't ideal - that's a different story. Thanks for your help - Peggy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
