You can't achieve that result with the method you propose, but you could
put a hypertext marker into the FM file that would open the Excel file
-- provided that it resides in a fixed location accessible to the person
using the PDF.


This approach definitely works with WebWorks ePublisher.  I'd be 
surprised if it didn't work in RoboHelp the same way.  ePublisher sees 
the link to the Excel document and brings it along as a baggage file, at 
least for WebHelp, CHM, and other HTML outputs.  Of course, neither tool 
presently embeds Excel files as attachments onto PDFs.  ePublisher may 
be able to link to the file, yet it doesn't perform any baggage file 
handling during pure PDF production

Embed MS Excel File in FM8?

2011-05-13 Thread Miller, Chris M 
Hi all,

Can I embed a MS Excel file into FrameMaker as a link so that when I convert it 
to PDF or WebHelp (via RoboHelp) the Excel file is accessible to the reader?  
My research tells me no but figured I'd reach out to the FM gurus of the 
group to double-check.  ;)

We currently use Tech Comm Suite 1.3 (Frame 8, RoboHelp 7) but will be 
upgrading within the next month to Tech Comm Suite 3 -- so if it's possible in 
the later version, that would be great to know as well.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
