Re: [Framers] Embedding attachments in FM that remain attachments when PDF'd
In my testing (Reader DC) I found the Previous and Next View to only toggle between page-view settings (e.g., page width, full page, continuous). I was about to suggest using them but thought, "Hmmm, better verify" and--for me at least--it was a big nope. Alt+Left was the only way to go back to the source PDF when it opened the target, attached PDF into the same tab. (I recall a similar usability problem with mobile PDF readers: When we wanted one document--a checklist--to open to the more-detailed steps, the opened document had to have an explicit link back in its text to return to the checklist.) I'm still hoping that the hotspot creation will work for the OP!

Acrobat supports embedding attachments in PDF: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/links-attachments-pdfs.html The closest FrameMaker counterpart is using File > Import > Object to embed an entire file as an OLE object, as you're doing.

Re: [Framers] Embedding attachments in FM that remain attachments when PDF'd
Does nobody know how to attach a file, such as an Excel file, as an icon, that when PDF'd and the icon is clicked, it opens the file? I'm trying File > Import > Object, then selecting an existing file and selecting Display as Icon. It creates an active link in the FM file, but when PDF'd, just displays an inert icon.

[Framers] Embedding attachments in FM that remain attachments when PDF'd
I need to embed some Excel and Word documents as ICONS into my FM docs that when PDF'd remain as attachments that can be clicked and will open. All my experiences with FM11 are when PDF's, the attachment icons turn into inert graphic icons.
