The issue is that embedded graphics in Frame is found by many people to not be
a useful way of working.
If you have a large number of documents which are going to be updated, and

I am new to this list. I was lurking for a while and I finally decided
to show up.
My main interest in FrameMaker is for XML-documents authoring tasks. I
am quite new to FrameMaker (few weeks experience, 7.2 installed), but I
have a good background and experience working with XML technologies.
Hello,
My company uses Framemaker to publish textbooks. We are probably one of
the few companies who do this and have a difficult time finding
technical consultants. We are based in Nashua, NH and would like someone
fairly local who could come in to the office at least once a month for
meetings
Folks,
I want to make a link in a PDF (created from Frame doc) that opens a
file in a specified directory without having to specify a filename.
Anyone know how to do this?

This is interesting... "DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics=ON" does not exist
in my Maker INI file... Maybe I should add it?

That's one of the things we'd teach in our Frame Expert's class (which,
sadly, never has enough folks to run anymore)

Only way I can think of is putting the directory on a html server and
naming the file index.html (or changing the server's "home" page
definition to use your file name).

Why don't you know the file name? What if the specified directory
contains 2 files? 2000?
