PDF email links

2008-02-08 Thread robert.wer...@appsense.com
I had thought that Framemaker supported hypertext markers that allow
tyou to create links for PDFs which launch a new email in the email
application and prepopulate the address and subject line.



However, I can't seem to remember how its done or find any reference to
it in the documentation either (Frame 7.2)



Is this possible and what is the format?



Is there a way to populate the subject line with context relevant
information, such as the current topic title?



Thanks in advance

Robert Werner

I think you populate the subject line by adding a bit:

message URL mailto:somebody at somewhere.com?subject=MyTopicTitle

but I can't remember if you put a space before the ?-mark or if you need 
quotation marks anywhere... a few tests should tell you.

Adding to what Art said, don't forget to apply a char tag to the link
text (or the link will extend to the end of the pgf). And you specify a
subject using "?subject=" (this isn't an FM thing, it's an HTML thing),
so the "Go to URL" command looks like this: 

message URL mailto:somebody at somewhere.com?subject=somesubject

Wouldn't each hyperlink have its own context? The link is in a topic,
right? Paste the topic title in when you create the link. You might be
able to script the whole process, but the the title has to go into the
link at the time of its creation; there's no way to for Acrobat to "look
it up" later. 

HTH!

I think you populate the subject line by adding a bit:

message URL mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

but I can't remember if you put a space before the ?-mark or if you need 
quotation marks anywhere... a few tests should tell you.
