Superscript Frame to PDF issue
One of the people on my team developed a solution to this issue. Disclaimer: it will only work if the superscript is at the end of the paragraph, and the superscript (or sub) won't show in the generated lists. It is a bit convoluted, but it works great: 1.0 Heading Text6 = broken link. Split the heading so that the superscript is its own paragraph. 1.0 Heading Text 6 Create a new paragraph tag that is identical to Heading 1 except without the autonumbering and make it superscripted. (or use an override) Apply the paragraph tag to the superscript paragraph. (1.0 Heading Text) Either create a new paragraph tag that is identical to Heading 1 except that it is a run-in head (Heading 1 Run-In) or use an override(Paragraph designer/Pagination). We use overrides. If you created a new paragraph tag - add it to your generated list(s) and fix the format on the TOC etc reference pages. Update the generated lists. And it should show like this: 1.0 Heading Text and the link will work.

Superscript Frame to PDF issue
Greetings. I have a set of documents that have superscript characters in the Heading1 levels. When I convert to PDF, any Heading that has a superscript is not a link in the TOC of the PDF. The Heading shows up in the TOC, but you can't click on it to go to that page. I'm not sure if my settings are wrong in Frame, PDF, or what. I'm using Frame 8 and Acrobat Professional 8 on Windows.

Thoughts? The hypertext marker inserted at the beginning of the TOC paragraphs creates a link, but the link area is limited by the change in character properties in the TOC entries (whether superscript, subscript or font changes) limits the active area. [see some examples at http://www.microtype.com/Hmmms.html#0305 ] If character formats in the TOC cannot be avoided (either retrieved from source paragraphs or required by design), I recommend using FrameScript to duplicate the hypertext marker present at the beginning of each TOC entry for each distinct character format area within that entry (independently of whether this property change comes from the TOC specification on the Reference page or from the source TOC item). Such a script can also be extended to deal with other TOC problems.

Re: Superscript Frame to PDF issue
As Shlomo points out, this is a known characteristic of FrameMaker, and you can't change it without using a Framescript-based solution. If you need a quick kludge to get you out of this production cycle, and you're going to PDF output only, you can work around this by selecting the Link tool in Acrobat and manually stretching the affected links across the TOC entry. Obviously, this is not something to adopt as a long-term fix, but it can get you out of the lurch if they need it this week. --William theboggette wrote: Greetings.
