Book-To-Book Xrefs File Not Found
Hi! I use book-to-book xrefs. The xref formats look good. When I update my books, Frame doesn't complain about broken links. However, after I generate the pdf and test the book-to-book links, I get an error that says the file can't be found. When I go to xref in the source file, and launch the source file in the other book (Go to Source button) the file launches perfectly. I thought perhaps I need both to/from books open, so I did that and then regenerated the pdfs, but this didn't fix the problem. Any idea what the problem is? Any idea why Frame doesn't complain?

Re: Book-To-Book Xrefs File Not Found
Steve is correct that all books that are referred to must be open when you generate the PDF that contains the x-refs. But two other gotchas are that all of the PDF files must have *exactly* the same name as the corresponding FrameMaker book files (except for the extension, of course), and the PDFs must have the same relative locations as the book files. If the book files are in the same directory on your system, the PDFs must also be be in the same directory on your system and on any medium or server that you put the PDFs on. If the book files are in separate subdirectories, you must place the PDFs in subdirectories with exactly the same names and relative locations as the book files, and that same subdirectory structure must be maintaied when the files are delivered. Shlomo Perets used to have an excellent document on this whole issue on his website (http://www.microtype.com), but I haven't looked for it in many months so I don't know if it is still there.

Re: Book-To-Book Xrefs File Not Foun
Turns out that the extension was in my .pdf filename. I removed the .book from the filename and things work now. However, when I clicked on the xref, the other book launched (that's good), but then the first book disappeared. I didn't know that book-to-book xrefs had this limitation: how does the user get back to the other book? I'm thinking that I should use book variables for manuals, and conditionalize book-to-book references for online help only. Is this a bad idea?
