Hi Theresa, An explanation would be that you created the PDF not with the Adobe PDF printer but with a non-PostScript printer. Then only the screen display is used to print EPS files. I recommend the free SetPrint utility to use Adobe PDF as the default printer just for FrameMaker:

Hi Anita, I encountered something similar some years ago. I do not remember the cause of this problem, but it helped to save the file as MIF, open the MIF and save in fm format again. (This is the so called MIF wash.) This step removes inconsistent formatting commands. Best regards Winfried

If you're indexing a number of .fm docs within a book, check that the pagination is set so that it flows properly from beginning to end - this looks like it's picking up index marker hits in multiple .fm docs that have different pagination rules applied. So within that doc it makes sense, but

Hi Diana, Try creating a link by hand with Acrobat in a PDF and make sure it works on the phone. If it does, then we can translate the link into its FrameMaker equivalent. But you are better to get it working in the PDF first. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you

Diana, tel is an input type supported in HTML5. It has no equivalent (that I know of) in FrameMaker or Acrobat. Maybe a JavaScript could launch the dialer and pass the number to it? Alternatively, using the message command in a hypertext marker might work. Baruch Brodersen On Wed, Mar 9, 2011
