Re: Doc Architecture Challenge: Linking Between Books
Hi Angela, just use descriptive titles for your hyperlinks, for example: See Concepts Guide Configuring xyz. Indeed, if a user downloads a pdf of one book, and not the other, the links will not work, but I guess the user will be smart enough to download the other guide and then use the navigational aids (TOC, IX, bookmarks, ...) of the other guide.

Are you sure? As long as the rule that *all* involved files are open when the Ps is created for the PDFs, links do seem to work. The rules seem to be that: . *All* source files involved in linking must be open when *any* Postscript is created . PDFs must be loaded into the same [relative] directories as the source files . No PDFs must be renamed I have in the past created a global directory to a set of user guides, using an ur-book. All the PDFs were placed on CD-ROM and the hyperlinks from the global directory keyed into the separate files ok. -- Steve ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
Re: Doc Architecture Challenge: Linking Between Books
That's a good point, but I'm not delivering via CD-ROM. The user downloads the PDF from the company's website. ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

Re: Doc Architecture Challenge: Linking Between Books
So why not deliver both books both individually and either in a .PDF package (new in Acrobat 8) or in a zip file marked as the product's Documentation Set?

Doc Architecture Challenge: Linking Between Books
Hi! I have an architecture challenge. I have two FrameMaker 7.2 (Unstructured) books: - User's Guide - Concepts Guide The User's Guide refers to the Concepts Guide and vice versa. Currently, this reference is simply a variable with the book's title. However, I'm thinking about creating hyperlinks between the books (so that these links show up in my WebWorks ePublisher Pro Help). The problem is, the books deliver as two separate books. If a user downloads a pdf of one book, and not the other, the links will not work. How does one get around this problem? Does one simply use Acrobat Professional to merge the two books and deliver one PDF? Is this a question for the WebWorks community?
