RE: Set-up in Framemaker to link to PDF in attachment
Hi Yves, Thanks for the tip. It doesn’t work however, which seems logic to me: “my_doc.pdf” isn’t in the C:/temp/ folder, not even temporarily when opening the main pdf file. It’s only in attachment of the main PDF and of course I can’t ask my users to put all attached PDFs to the required folder.

You need Timesavers, from Microtype: http://www.microtype.com That's the first place to go for PDF problems in Frame. Highly recommended. -- Jeremy H.

PDF supports this functionality, but there are no built-in hypertext markers in FrameMaker that will let you define it. Other than linking manually (and re-doing this whenever the PDF is updated), it is possible to use custom hypertext markers in the source FM file, in conjunction with TimeSavers + Embed shortcuts to embed PDFs (or other file types), as well as define links / bookmarks to the embedded items. Sample PDF produced this way (no post-creation steps in Acrobat) is available at: http://microtype.com/showcase/Embed/Main.pdf Shlomo Perets MicroType, http:// microtype.com http://%20microtype.com FrameMaker/Acrobat/Captivate training consulting * FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
