Re: [Framers] Text inset links in PDFs in FM 2017 and no updates to purchased version

[Robert Lauriston]

Your friend could get a free trial and see if it has been fixed.

I think I first encountered the bug that made cross-references in text
insets not work in FM6. It was definitely in FM7 since I covered the
workaround in an in-house tech writers' guide I wrote at an old job:

The workaround is to use gotolink and newlink markers instead.

Re: [Framers] Text inset links in PDFs in FM 2017 and no updates to purchased version

[David Spreadbury]

Tested with FrameMaker 2015
Importing, by reference, a text inset into a FrameMaker file.Text inset had a 
cross reference to a paragraph in another chapter.Created a PDFCross references 
in the PDF worked just fine.The only gotcha would be that the cross-reference 
target must always be present and in the same chapter, otherwise it would have 
to be changed each time. A reference to say a contact page that appears in each 
document and is always in the same chapter, otherwise it will be broken or 
require changing each time.

 Can't answer your first question right now, but i have a few insets i could 
try and see if it works.

On the other issue, I have purchased version of Framemaker 2015 and you need to 
go to the help menu and select Updates. Frame will go out and see check. If 
there are, Frame will let you know.

I'm posting on behalf of someone else who is contemplating taking on some of
my projects. She's getting info from FM support that I'm a little skeptical
about. Sorry to repeat the one item, but I've not heard back. 

 

 

.      I got this a bit wrong the first time, too. According to FM support,
the bug that caused x-refs from text insets to not be working links in PDFs
was reported in FM 10 and does not now show up on the list of bugs. This
makes is sound like it's been fixed. Has anyone has tested this in FM 2017
to see if links work without having to run a script in FM to get them to
work?




.      She was also told that if you purchased a license (not the monthly
subscription) that you did not get an updates or bug fixes. I know that
didn't used to be true. Is it the case that if you purchase a license
without the monthly subscription that you don't get even bug fixes? No a
point releases? Nothing?

 

 

I appreciate any info you folks can share. I've been out of the loop on the
latest and greatest for a while.

 

Thanks for any info you have on this!!
