I'm trying to do the following:
Insert a message client hypertext command in file A which opens file B. Both
files will be PDF documents (yes, I use PDF for presentations instead of
PowerPoint).
I'm currently using the following command:
message openfile C:/temp/fileB.pdf
The command works but the problem is that file A closes when file B is opened.
Does anyone know how to keep file A open?
Nothing you can do about this in FrameMaker (unless an add-on is being
used, see http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF10.html for more info/examples).
There is a local viewing preference in Acrobat/Reader that controls whether
a linked PDF opens in a new window: Edit > Preferences > General -- turn
off "Open cross-document links in same window". Preferences apply to the
Acrobat/Reader copy where the PDF is viewed, but not to the PDF file itself.
In Acrobat, you can modify the individual link property so that it opens
the target file in a new window (this link property is available within
Acrobat starting with version 6).
