Tina, I wonder why you are using Frame to create the front end, what sounds like a Table of Contents. Not that Frame isn't fully capable of ding it. Me, I would have created an HTML file of links.
But that aside, I wonder if you have the complete path, including drive letter, in your FM links? Your CD is, obviously, a different drive address, so links to C:\ aren't valid anymore or is the Attachments folder in the same relative position (c:\PDF-file\Attachments on the CD is E:\PDF-file and E:\Attachments, or some variant) to the FM->PDF file as it was on your system? --- On Wed, 12/22/10, Tina Ricks <t...@trialguides.com> wrote: From: Tina Ricks <t...@trialguides.com> Subject: Links not working: Frame 8 to PDF to external file To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Date: Wednesday, December 22, 2010, 11:41 PM Hi everyone, Frame version: 8.0p277 Adobe Acrobat Pro version: 8.2.5 I'm creating a giant PDF file (in Frame) of conference papers for a professional conference. It will be burned on a CD. I have my giant PDF, and I have a folder called Attachments. Inside the Attachments folder are a whole load of PowerPoint Show files (.pps) GiantPDF.pdf Attachments Filename.pps Filename_2.pps (etc. etc.) In Frame, I created hyperlinks with this setting: Special > Hypertext Command: Message Client Syntax box: Message openfile Attachments/Filename.pps (this seemed like the correct syntax for a relative pathname, based on several internet resources) On my computer, this works great. I can create my PDF, I can move my folder structure elsewhere on my computer and things work. When I create a CD and take it to a different computer, my giant PDF can't find the PPS files. Why? All internal links within the PDF work fine. What am I doing wrong? Would love any assistance.
