Sorry if I wasn't clear. The release notes has xrefs to sections in a
book. I print the release notes to PDF and the Users Guide to PDF. The
xrefs in the release notes PDF should link to sections in the
UsersGuide.PDF. I do this all the time. Some of them work as expected.
Some of them do not. When I look at the properties of the xrefs in the
PDF in Adobe Acrobat, I see that the ones that work are pointing to the
UsersGuide.pdf file and a named destination. The links that do not work
are not pointing to UsersGuide.pdf, but are pointing to a pdf file that
is named after the file in the book that the xrefs were to, for example
starting_the_app.pdf. However starting_the_app.pdf does not exist
because I did not generate individual PDFs, but only a PDF for the
entire book. (The book was open in FM when I printed the release notes.
You don't need to open all the individual files.) Since I created all
the xrefs in FM the same way, it doesn't make sense to me.

In unstructured FrameMaker, cross-references are always from one place
in an .fm file to another place in the same file, or from one .fm file
to another. Are you saying the .fm containing the cross-reference is
in the PDF and the target .fm is not?
Cross-references used to not work in text insets. I don't know if
Adobe ever fixed that.
There used to be a bug where all the .fm files in the book had to be
open or some cross-references would not work. I don't know if they
fixed that, either.
