RE: Frame to PDF

[Bill Fetzner <BFetzner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Holy Moly, Ed and Jerilynne (as well as others who looked on in wonderment)
I did not have that option box checked. But I avoided it purposefully, not
be default, because I erringly thought it was there to make bookmarks (which
I didn't need in this instance). Little did I realize, until now, that it's
the only way that cross referenced hyperlinks can appear in the pdf. I
presume this means that if I don't check Acrobat Data, I won't get
hyperlinks for the generated table of contents, for the generated index or
for any links individually added in Framemaker. With all that value, seems
to me that Adobe would have the generation of Acrobat Data a default
condition rather than an option, but I guess hyperlinking in a pdf is not
what the typical user wants. ~ Bill

Hmm, you probably don't have the "Generate Acrobat Data" option checked.
When you save as PDF, it automatically goes through the Acrobat setup.  It
doesn't when you're just printing to file.
