Hi Steve,
This happened with a link to another page in the same PDF? Which release
are you using? We overhauled our linking structure for V2R3, so I'm
especially curious if that's where you notice the quirks.
Regardless, the best way to consume PDF material when offline is with
the Adobe Indexed PDF collections that were mentioned earlier - all
available releases are linked from
https://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pages/zosInternetLibrary
. With one of those, you get the entire release library of PDFs in one
fell swoop. If the inter-PDF links are busted, that's not helped by
this, but at least all links to other PDFs will successfully open the
local copies for you to enjoy.
Yours truly,
Sue Shumway

I have a question on KC producing PDFs.
Has it been fixed to stop putting in hot links in a generated PDF that
send one back to KC, for something that is the same manual?
Example (made up here): One is reading something about DDNames in the
JCL Ref and there is a hot link to UNIT=AFF.
So one clicks on that hot link and the default browser fires up and
attempts to go out to KC....
Just one small problem: I'm in an airplane that doesn't have WiFi or I'm
not willing to pay for WiFi for this leg of a trip.
Ok, why should I click on something to tell KC to NOT generate such a
link within a manual to another page within that manual?
Yes, I have run into these things.
Regards,
Steve Thompson

As you know, I've been "vocal" about getting KC (at least on the
internet) to a point where I can better do my job. We do have some
RFEs out there which you might want to vote on and which I agree with:
Currently at 19 votes as an Uncommitted Candidate, "IBM
KnowledgeCenter is Difficult to Use Especially for Searching within a
Manual" (deals with a "one book" search and knowing what book you are
going to):
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=93288
Currently at 20 votes as a "Submitted" , "IBM KnowledgeCenter is
Difficult to Use Especially for Searching within a Manual":
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=90793
We have had some improvements here, and I do still want a couple more
- particularly the same-book-search capability. The RFEs above are
the ones that I'm watching.
