Try using relative links in your source FM files, in combination with the "Base
URL" setting in PDF files.
Your FrameMaker hypertext markers may include the "known" part of the link
(=ending), such as:
message URL intro.html
and then once the PDF is created, specify the "base URL" (=beginning)
(in Acrobat:, File > Properties, Advanced tab, Base URL).
For example: http://sample.com
So that the resulting link in the PDF points to: http://sample.com/intro.html
