Peggy, what do the help target markers look like in FrameMaker? I'm thinking
maybe your predecessor had TimeSavers installed. The marker text syntax could
indicate whether that's the case.

so maybe he was using it for the target markers. I see a lot of target
destinations in the PDF,
here are a few examples:
G3.1069777
G9.1164423
I7.1.1246871
I believe that pdfmark text frame approach was an old kludge to work
around the lack of a direct way to specify a named destination in
FrameMaker.
Current best practice is to insert a Hypertext marker with the Specify
Named Destination (newlink linkname) option.

Are the help targets defined in FrameMaker using named destinations?

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request to solve this mystery. I figured
it was probably done with named destinations somehow but I've searched the
files and I can't find any evidence of the necessary links - no hypertext
markers or pdfmark text boxes. I looked at the Destinations panel

Hi Robert,
We tried that and the named destination came through as M8.newlink.helpid.
We could find no good way to scrub the M8.newlink.

Hi,
I don't really know the Framemaker angle here, but the following blog post can
point you in the right direction on how it works on the PDF side.

The PDF has to be generated with Enable Fast Web View on and the
links have to be to named destinations, for example:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters_v9.pdf#nameddest=G4.1500435
Also, if the PDF is on a server, it has to support byte serving.

Hi Peggy,
We use the following pdfmark command to embed help IDs into Frame
documents. Placing the destinations into the PDF itself is not an option
for us because the document is translated into 14 languages so we have
to embed the named destinations into the source Framemaker document.
If this was working with FrameMaker 7 and is not working with
FrameMaker 9, the problem is with your PDF settings. You shouldn't
need to install anything or change the FrameMaker source.
When saving as PDF, make sure that on the Links tab you have Create
Named Destinations for All Paragraphs
