RE: hyperlink problem - solved

[Jo Watkiss]

Thanks Art and Stuart,

I needed to turn on the 'Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs'
option.
I have a feeling this issue has come up before, but I'd forgotten about
it! 

BTW - I'm printing a postscript file and then distilling, because it
seems to be the only way to get the book into a single PDF file. If I've
missed something, please let me know.

Thanks,
Jo

Re: hyperlink problem - solved

[Art Campbell]

Glad you solved the problem.
Adobe PDF logical printers print books in a single step as the default
behaviour... As far as I know, the only way to get it to print into separate
files is to specify separate files on the FM print dialog box, to get around
the default.
So I'd suggest really looking at all the checkboxes on the Print dialog
box.to see what you're specifying. Generate Acrobat must be checked, but
Print To File and Separate files should be OFF.

Jo's original follow up post was saying that she WANTS the single file, but
can't get it... not the other way around. So the problem would be why she
can't get the default behaviour.
