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.
See?http://blogs.adobe.com/tcs/2011/01/tcs-specific/linking-to-a-page-within-a-pdf-and-more.html


Thanks,
Vikrant

Subject: Using PDF for context-sensitive help


Hi,
?
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I?ve come into a situation 
where I need to maintain an online help system that uses a PDF document as the 
target. When you click a Help button in a dialog box it?s supposed to bring up 
a particular page (or go to a particular heading) in the PDF ? not just open 
the PDF on page 1. Does anyone know how this might be done? The PDF is created 
from FrameMaker so I?m assuming there must be markers in the FrameMaker files 
somewhere but I can?t find them, or I?m not sure what to look for. The person 
who created this system isn?t here anymore so I?m trying to figure out what he 
did to make this work. When it worked the PDF was created from FrameMaker 7; 
I?m using FrameMaker 9. It appears all of the Help buttons in the product are 
broken now ? they open up the PDF file I created in FM 9 but only to the first 
page, so they aren?t context-sensitive anymore. I don?t know if upgrading to FM 
9
 made a difference here or not.
?
I know using PDF for context-sensitive help isn?t ideal ? that?s a different 
story.
?
Thanks for your help ?
?
Peggy
