Re: [Framers] External cross-references in book documents - do not work in generated PDFs

2018-01-08 Thread Robert Lauriston 
So call it a design flaw, it's still lame. It should be possible to
define relations between books in some persistent way.

Which is an example of a general problem with unstructured FM, that it
doesn't really have projects or templates.

2018-01-08 Thread Rick Quatro 
It's not a bug. It is the only way that FrameMaker can figure out what the
parent book is for a particular external link. Remember that the link in the
FrameMaker file is to a filename.fm, but the link in the PDF has to be to
the bookname.pdf. When the link is to a file external to the book currently
being processed, FrameMaker looks at the currently opened books to determine
which PDF name to use for the link.

I'd falsely assumed they had fixed that bug long ago. I first encountered it
in FM6 if not 5.5.6.

To avoid that issue, once computers had enough memory to deal handle it, I
started putting the whole doc set in one PDF.

Hi Stephen,

Let's say you are producing a PDF from Book A. Book A has links to Book B.
Book B has to be open in FrameMaker when you make the PDF from Book A in order 
for the links to Book B to work.

Subject: [Framers] External cross-references in book documents - do not work in 
generated PDFs

Hi,

I work with several FM (12) books. Some documents in these books contain 
external x-refs to sections in documents in other books.

In the generated PDFs, these external x-refs do  not work (do not open the 
destination PDF).

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
