Alternatively, you can change your xrefs to Hyperlinks. i.e.: "gotolink myfile.fm:mylink_01" and "gotolink ../myfile.fm:mylink_01"
Are both valid links. (assuming that myfile.fm has the Hypertext marker "newlink mylink_01" <g>) Working out the tree structure can sometimes be a pain, but it does let you keep common documents in a different folder than the product-specific ones if you want. You also *will* need to have "generate PDF links" active when you print to distiller.

I am creating Release Notes that need to cross-reference to files in other books. For example, I have a new feature that I list in this file and have cross-referenced to the full explanation in the Using manual. The next new feature cross-references to the Configuration manual, etc. After creating the Release Notes, PDF the cross-references don't work. When I click on the link in the PDF, I get the message that "the specified file config.pdf does not exist." When I generate the online help, it says that there are unresolved xrefs (which are not unresolved xrefs in the Frame file). I have updated the links, to no avail. I have tried creating the PDF with all the book files and individuals files open and I have tried it with only having the book files open. In the PDF Setup dialog box, Links tab, "Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs" is selected. What am I doing wrong? FrameMaker 7.0p579 - WWP for Frame v. 8.0.8.2296 - Windows XP Thanks!
