Re: [Framers] Compiling books on to a CD/DVD
Good idea. It's been quite a while since I played with PDF portfolios, but if I recall correctly, that lets the readers search across all the portfolio components. At least when they're using Adobe Reader.

Re: [Framers] Compiling books on to a CD/DVD
Hi Winfried, I looked at the tutorial and that, I think, is exactly what I need! That and the information Carol Elkins provided should do the trick!

Re: [Framers] Compiling books on to a CD/DVD
Tom, the way I do this is to make a splash screen containing a graphic and create a PDF out of it. Then on that splash screen PDF (in Acrobat), I create "buttons" for each publication on the disc and link the button to the appropriate PDF. When you burn the CD, you would have your splash screen PDF, the various PDFs for your manuals, and two more files that cause the disc to autorun: autorun.inf which contains the following two lines, where "welcome.pdf" is the name I assign my splash screen: [autorun] open=winopen \welcome.pdf winopen.exe (see http://www.duckware.com/winopen/index.html for information; I can't remember what's in mine and I don't have time right now to backtrack the research) Carol At 12:34 PM 1/13/2016, you wrote: This is not necessarily a FrameMaker issue, but I a presuming that some of you may have done this and would be able to provide me with needed advice.
