RE: Creating hyperlink to PDF

[Fetzner, Bill]

Update on this Frame-Acrobat problem. I visited Adobe.com and looked for a 
trial version of an update. While there, a nice sales lady invited me to chat, 
and not finding any other way to discuss this issue with any other Adobe 
employee, I took her up on it. Explained my problem, and after a wait of 
several minutes she came back that TCS2 is incompatible with Win7 and 
suggesting I update to TCS3. Rather than that, I asked her for assurance that I 
could run either Frame10 with TCS2 or Acrobat X with TCS2, and she said "aye" 
in both cases (I translated the "aye"). I downloaded a trial of Acrobat X, 
accepting its suggestion that it uninstall Acrobat 9 from my TCS2, then started 
testing. It seemed to work okay with TCS2 but haven't extensively tested that. 
What DID work was the links that wouldn't work when I generated a pdf from 
Frame before. Problem solved, or so it appears. Later, I found out that the pdf 
that lacked the valid links in Win7 would have them in another computer running 
XP and version 9.4.5 of Acrobat. It appears, therefore, that there is an 
incompatibility between Acrobat 9 running under Win7 such that message openfile 
links that it creates won't work under Win7, but will work under XP. Go figure. 
Thought someone might find some value in all of this.

Hi Bill,

Does the link work in FrameMaker (CTRL + ALT and then click on the link)? 
How do you create the PDF? If you print to a PostScript file or to a PDF, 
have you activated "Generate Acrobat Data"?

Best regards

RE: Creating hyperlink to PDF

[Fetzner, Bill]

Winfried ~ 
Here's what I've found out. To answer your question, yes it does work that way. 
Also works when I create a viewable document. The problem seems to be with 
Acrobat, and only when creating files not when reading them, i.e. I have pdf 
files that I created under XP that still contain active links when checked 
under Win7. Acrobat still thinks the link to external files is valid because it 
shows the little hand cursor when hovering over it, but the link doesn't work. 
All x-refs within the pdf book, however, seem to work for a book created under 
Win7. Even a "message URL" to an website link works like before. The only thing 
broken under my Win7 environment appears to be the "Message copyfile" links 
that go to my local external files and folders. My copy of Acrobat Pro Extended 
is fully patched at version 9.4.5. I've searched the Adobe site and also a did 
wide ranging searches on the Web without turning up anything. Could it be that 
nobody else knows about this incompatibility issue?

RE: Creating hyperlink to PDF

[Fetzner, Bill]

All ~ 
Searching my local Framers archives for a solution to my problem, I came up 
with this thread. I've been using the "message openfile hypertext marker for 
years with complete success. When I convert my doc to a pdf, the linkage worked 
just fine. But not in Windows 7 as far as I can determine. When I take exactly 
the same file, with exactly the same TCS2 newly installed in Win7, all those 
links are gone in my pdf distillation of the file. I've reinstalled Acrobat and 
updated it from itself without success. Anyone else experience this or have a 
suggestion of some magic switch I should know about?

A generic link to an external PDF can be created using the built-in FM 
hypertext marker:
message openfile path/filename.pdf

The target PDF will open at the default opening page; "new window" or "same 
window" applied according to the local Acrobat/Reader preference.

Other hypertext markers (gotolink/gotopage or openlink/openpage) can be 
translated to a similar link upon conversion to PDF, but link 
validity/success may be dependent on other factors (e.g. authoring 
application for the target PDF being FM, specific destinations/page numbers 
present, chapter vs. book file issues).

Creating hyperlink to PDF

[Fetzner, Bill]

All ~ 
Searching my local Framers archives for a solution to my problem, I came up 
with this thread. I've been using the "message openfile hypertext marker for 
years with complete success. When I convert my doc to a pdf, the linkage worked 
just fine. But not in Windows 7 as far as I can determine. When I take exactly 
the same file, with exactly the same TCS2 newly installed in Win7, all those 
links are gone in my pdf distillation of the file. I've reinstalled Acrobat and 
updated it from itself without success. Anyone else experience this or have a 
suggestion of some magic switch I should know about?

A generic link to an external PDF can be created using the built-in FM 
hypertext marker:
message openfile path/filename.pdf

The target PDF will open at the default opening page; "new window" or "same 
window" applied according to the local Acrobat/Reader preference.

Other hypertext markers (gotolink/gotopage or openlink/openpage) can be 
translated to a similar link upon conversion to PDF, but link 
validity/success may be dependent on other factors (e.g. authoring 
application for the target PDF being FM, specific destinations/page numbers 
present, chapter vs. book file issues).

[Jo Watkiss]

Hi Nina,



This is the marker that I use for this purpose (works in frame 6 and 9):



openpage folder location/filename.fm:1



the .fm gets converted to .pdf when you convert from frame to pdf

the :1 means it opens at page 1



Hope that helps,

Jo Watkiss

I am trying to create a hyperlink to a PDF. Basically, when the user
clicks the link, I want a separate PDF file to open. I'm working in
FrameMaker 7, but the finished document will be published as a PDF.



I am using Scriptorium's FrameMaker 7 guide, which I consider my FM
bible and has always been very helpful. I can only assume that I'm being
especially dense this morning because I'm not understanding how to
create this link. It seems like I've done this before, and it wasn't
that difficult ... but it's been a while. (And my memory is fuzzy.)



The PDF I want to link is located in a folder on our network, not on a

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
