A free option might be to set up DITA to generate Web help and use one of the many free HTML link checkers.

Finding broken links in a PDF (An Update!)
And, of course, as soon as I sent this I remembered: the hotspot works up until the point in the text where you've added a character tag or something that changes the format. Now, that's in unstructured, but I'm wondering if they've wrapped the part where the link breaks in another element or something.

Finding broken links in a PDF (An Update!)
I think I've discovered (at least part of) the issue. The links are actually there. What's happening is that instead of the PDF hotspot covering the entirety of the text being wrapped in the xref or fm-xref tag, it's forming as a little tiny spot to the left of the visible text. I suspect this is the same thing that happens with xrefs to table footnotes, although at the moment I'm not remembering the why. Tomorrow I'm going to take a look at the files this is happening in to see if my coworkers are using the same elements in cases where it works versus where it doesn't work, whether the attributes are different, etc. I'm pretty new to structured Frame/DITA in general, so digging into this ought to be fun. :) HOWEVER!!!

Re: Finding broken links in a PDF (An Update!)
Hi Lin... Note that there are a few settings in DITA-FMx that enable hypertext in a PDF. First, in the main DITA Options dialog, there's an "Add Hypertext Markers to External Xrefs" option. This is for xref/@scope="external" xrefs .. links to URLs or content outside of the scope of the DITA files. You probably want this to be enabled. Then, in the Book Build Settings dialog (button in the Options dialog), there's the "Convert Xrefs/Links into Hyperlinks" option. Also probably want this enabled. There's a difference between xrefs and fm-xrefs. Xrefs are "DITA" cross-refs that are just plain text links .. no formatting. If you want these to be clickable in a PDF, you must enable the option. Fm-xrefs are "FrameMaker" cross-refs which make use of FrameMaker's formatted references .. these will become clickable links in PDFs by default. Both are stored as xref elements in the underlying DITA file, but the fm-xrefs convert when open in FM. You may want to use the dita-fmx-users Yahoo group for DITA-FMx related questions.

Hi Lin! Link checking is built in to Mif2Go for HTML conversions; it produces an error report in Frame that links to every error it finds. See the User's Guide, par. 5.1.5, "Checking for broken links in HTML or XML output". It doesn't matter that the output in this case is PDF; just run an HTML project using default settings, which takes a minute or two, and check the report. Since you don't need usable HTML output for this to work, you can just use the free unlimited demo version. Just one of the many free perks (like runfm and Wash via MIF) we've built in to Mif2Go. On the new Web site, <http://mif2go.com>, you need to register first, then after activation you can download. Be sure and put something related to Frame or Mif2Go in the bio field; that's how we sort out real signups from the frequent spammer attempts.

Hi Lin, I am using AutoBookmark Professional from Evermap (http://www.evermap.com) to do this (among a lot of other things). The Professional version is $239, but the Standard version may be sufficient ($189). Of course, link checking should be built into the Acrobat product itself, but since it isn't, and time is money, I have found this program very useful. The support is very good, too. I have no stake in the product, I am just a satisfied customer. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Finding broken links in a PDF
Has Adobe added a tool for finding broken links in a PDF yet? If so, where is it? One of my coworkers is looking at a document that is umpty-pages long with even umptier numbers of links. It just isn't possible to find and click all of them to see if they all work, and work as intended. As I recall, the lack of a tool like this has been a long-standing issue with Acrobat, and I was kinda hoping they'd fixed it by now. (For reference, the files are structured FrameMaker being saved as PDF from a book file created using Leximation's DITA-FMx plugin, and it's Adobe Acrobat X.)
