Re: [Framers] active URLs spanning more than one line

[Carol J. Elkins]

No, the Amazon links are all amazon.com.  But just to check, I added 
a link to a .info URL on the same page with the other test links, and 
it performed correctly. So the problem must be after the domain name 
in the URL.

Re: [Framers] active URLs spanning more than one line

[Carol J. Elkins]

Well, thanks to these suggestions, I'm starting to whittle down the 
problem but still don't know how to fix it. Disabling Acrobat's 
"Create links from URLs" feature helped me to identify the actual 
problem: When I select the link in the PDF and view its properties, 
the entire link text is there, so Frame's marker text was correctly 
passed on. But the invisible rectangle around the box that defines 
the active area for the link is only as wide as the http:// part of the link.


On that same page, I've added ginormously long test URLs (from 
Amazon) that wrap across several lines and they all perform correctly 
in the resulting PDF.  So there is something going on with this URL 
that is preventing the text after the http:// from being included in 
the PDF's active link. Here is the URL again:


http://advancedbiofuelsusa.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/11-0307-Biodiesel-vs-Renewable_Final-_3_-JJY-formatting-FINAL.pdf

Can anyone see anything in this URL that would offend Frame?

Monique, yes I'm using a hypertext marker.

Does "Adobe PDF" appear in your printers list? Adobe changed the displayed name 
for the Distiller virtual printer at least four times that I can remember, but 
it's been "Adobe PDF" for a while, now.

Re: [Framers] active URLs spanning more than one line

[Monique Semp]

So aside from the link char tag, is the text also using the Hypertext 
marker? If not, I don't think that the FrameMaker publish/print process will 
create the actual hyperlink, and that what's been working so far is just 
Acrobats *viewing* feature. So the same PDF could have working links on one 
person's machine but not on another person's machine, based on the person's 
Acrobat preferences.

A remote possibility: The publish process isn't actually creating the
hyperlink, but it appears so because Acrobat generally (by default, I
believe) creates links from URLs (via the "Preferences > General > Create
links form URLs" setting). If this is the case, then I'd guess it's
Acrobat's rendering that's at issue, and that ensuring that the production
process is actually using the format and creating the links would fix the
problem.

Re: [Framers] active URLs spanning more than one line

[Carol J. Elkins]

Hi Penelope and Monique,

Thanks for the suggestions. I print to PS and then distill using the 
Press Quality job option. Frame is set to "Generate Acrobat data." So 
unless I'm totally misunderstanding the process, when Frame prints to 
a .ps file, Acrobat itself really has nothing to do with the 
hyptertext link generation process.


Monique, without tampering with the hypertext marker, if you skinny 
down the page margins to force a URL to break to a second line and 
then print that page to .ps and distill, can you create my problem or 
does your resulting link in the PDF work correctly?

I think Monique is on to something. Your URL works fine for me in FM

So, for some reason, even though the hypertext marker is there in 
Frame, it isn't getting processed. How are you creating the PDF? If 
you print to PS and then distill, verify that "Generate Acrobat 
data" is selected in the Print dialogue.

Subject: [Framers] active URLs spanning more than one line

Framers, I have several URLs in Frame12 that span more than one line. 
The hypertext link contains the full URL, and the URL is assigned the 
Link character tag.

message URL 
http://advancedbiofuelsusa.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/11-0307-Biodiesel-vs-Renewable_Final-_3_-JJY-formatting-FINAL.pdf

Because the URL is so long, it breaks across the line in Frame. When 
the PDF is generated, only the text in the first line of the URL is 
rendered active (there is no line break), and thus the link returns a 
404 error. There are no blank spaces in the URL. Is there a way to 
avoid this other than having to manually edit the link each time I 
regenerate the PDF?
