Re: [framemaker-dita] Frame book printed to PDF - hyperlinks missing
Thanks, Alan, that's probably it; I'll change the s to s. All of the items I want as targets have IDs, so it shouldn't be too time consuming.

Acrobat 8.1 stops FM print
I had a similar experience. I inadvertently interrupted the Acrobat 8.1 update while it was in progress. I then discovered that I couldn't access any printer driver - even a PCL driver that is unrelated to Acrobat. My printers folder appeared to be completely empty. All the printer drivers were hidden. I ran Help > Check for Updates again in Acrobat. The update took about half an hour or more. When the update was complete, it prompted for a reboot. Printing then worked fine. All the printer drivers were restored to the printers folder with their original configuration.

Structured (DITA) book problems with missing PDF hyperlinks
I have been using FrameMaker 7.2 with the DITA Toolkit to create my Structured documents. When I want to output my book, I opt to print the book using the Adobe Acrobat (8) print driver. The book generates properly, but the only active hyperlinks in the PDF are in the Table of Contents. The hyperlinks created with the element are not generated; in addition, the Index links are not created. I have also requested feedback from the dita-framemaker listserv, so there is no need to recommend I seek its input. Please advise. Thanks in advance, Val Valerie L:ipow Brendan Technologies, Inc.

This is likely related to a problem which started with Acrobat 5: the FILE: port is sometimes deleted mysteriously as part of installing/upgrading Acrobat. I encountered it myself several times -- with different computers and various Acrobat versions. For the benefit of others who may encounter the same problem when installing/upgrading Acrobat: if the FILE: port has to be recreated, the steps to be taken are listed at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=331115 [ A new behavior of Distiller 8.1 is that it blocks all file operations by default. Users of FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on, which relies on Distiller's access to external files, will have to set-up Distiller 8.1 so that it can access files, as described in http://www.microtype.com/timesavers.html ] Shlomo Perets MicroType, http://www.microtype.com * ToolbarPlus Express for FrameMaker FrameMaker/Acrobat training & consulting * FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants
