Re: Hypertext links in Acrobat 8 documents generated from FrameMaker 8
Could this be your problem, taken from the Microtype FM8 bug list (http://www.microtype.com/FM_bugs.html): Cross-file links in PDFs authored in FrameMaker 8.0 use Unicode-encoded file paths and file names, which are only supported in Windows Acrobat/Reader 8.x or MacOS Acrobat/Reader 7.x or later. As a result, cross-file links are not functional when the PDF is displayed in earlier Acrobat/Reader versions, even though the target files are present. When clicking the cross-file links, the following message is displayed: There was an error opening this document. The path does not exist. Some PDFs with cross-file links trigger the following message upon opening in Acrobat/Reader versions earlier than 8: This file appears to use a new format... Adobe recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of our Acrobat products Actually, Kanti, we are using FM8.0p266 and Acrobat Pro 8.1.1 and Adobe Reader 8.1.1, the very latest stuff, and *still* the links don't work. However, Shlomo Perets of MicroType says he has known about this FM problem all along, and is working on a new version of his software, which he offers will shortly resolve this problem with Unicode-encoded file paths and file names, at a cost of some $200. I'll gladly take it out of my own paycheck. We feel betrayed by Adobe. How could they have offered us an upgrade that is so secretly crippled? For our project, this is like sabotage. We've got my fingers crossed, that we're going to be able to recover from this successfully. Even in the best of all possible scenarios, after Shlomo distributes his new software there is going to be a hell of a lot of work here, weeks and weeks of work, re-distilling all these PDF files and uploading them again to the internet website. ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

I don't have FM8, but my guess is that the problem is in FM, not Acrobat. You probably haven't set up FM to generate Acrobat data (in the Print dialog in earlier versions) or done the PDF setup. (I don't know if, in FM8, you still need to create named destinations for all paragraphs to avoid broken links.) The Acrobat links from URLs function is totally unrelated. It finds strings in the PDF that look like URLs (e.g., http://blahblah, mailto:blahblah) and makes hyperlinks out of them. It can't do anything with FM xrefs or text that you intend to be a link, but isn't an actual URL. Personally, I think the links from URLs function is a bad idea, and I have it turned off. I want to decide -- in FM, by inserting a hyperlink -- where links are created, not leave it up to Acrobat. HTH! Richard -- Richard G.
