Thanks Art and Stuart, I needed to turn on the 'Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs' option. I have a feeling this issue has come up before, but I'd forgotten about it!

Re: hyperlink problem - solved
Glad you solved the problem. Adobe PDF logical printers print books in a single step as the default behaviour... As far as I know, the only way to get it to print into separate files is to specify separate files on the FM print dialog box, to get around the default. So I'd suggest really looking at all the checkboxes on the Print dialog box.to see what you're specifying. Generate Acrobat must be checked, but Print To File and Separate files should be OFF.

Jo's original follow up post was saying that she WANTS the single file, but can't get it... not the other way around. So the problem would be why she can't get the default behaviour.

Right you are, Stuart. I had been remembering FM6 as the first version that included the separate files option. But a quick visit to my bookshelf proved that I was mistaken; that feature wasn't introduced until FM7. But the fact is that the only way that you could get FM6 to produce separate PDFs for the chapters in a book was to print to file and use an asterisk in place of a filename. As I recall, there was no way to get separate PDFs directly; you always had to print to PS, then distill. It was about as far as you can get from default behavior. -Fred Ridder ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.

I'm almost embarassed to ask a question about FrameMaker 6 - but I hope you can cast your minds back and offer some help I have a book file with approx 10 files and numerous cross-references between them. All appears OK in Frame, but when I convert to a single PDF, some of them work as hyperlinks and some don't. I have been unable to find any pattern as to why some work and some don't. All are defined in the same way, and I've checked the destination markers and they all look OK - for example: Marker type: Cross-Ref Marker Text: 76307: H2 Heading2: Collection Table Adjustment I'm converting to PDF by 'writing' a postscript file using Adobe PDF and then running through distiller.

I'm assuming that in the FM Print dialog box, you have Generate Acrobat Data ON (or none of the links would work). But check it. And in your PDF properties, try turning Tagged PDF to ON. Also, if you're using the PDF printer to generate the PS file, there's no difference between doing that and printing to the PDF printer directly, except that printing to the printer directly saves you a manual step and should process faster.
