I think the master page link problems are a known bug in Frame 6. Shlomo Perets suggests using pdfmark commands in PostScript text frames as a workaround. I think you need his TimeSavers to do this, but I'm not sure. www.microtype.com ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Frame 6 and PDF: links from master pages not created Author: "Whelan, Thomas" <twhelan@Brooks.com> at FDCNOTESPO Date: 06/07/2000 2:48 PM I'm trying out Frame 6, and apparently some hypertext links we've produced successfully in Frame 5.5.2 don't work in the PDFs made from Frame 6 PostScript. Here's the situation. In the indexes of our PDF online books we use an alphabet at the top of the page. Click a letter of the alphabet, go to the index page that has the start of the entries for that letter: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ indexcolumn1 indexcolumn2 indexcolumn1 indexcolumn2 indexcolumn1 indexcolumn2 In FrameMaker, the alphabet is on the right and left master pages of the index. Each letter on the master page is in its own text frame and set up as a gotolink. The destination for each letter is a newlink at the body page heading for that letter. When you view the index body page in Frame 6, the link functions as a CTRL + ALT + click hypertext link. When you create a PDF file from Frame 6, there are no links for the letters at the top of the page.(The cursor doesn't change as for a link, when you turn on the link tool in Acrobat, there is no link area.) Index page number links work in the PDF, as do cross references, TOC, etc. I've used the Optimize File Size command in Frame 6, turned Named Destination link creation on an off, but it still doesn't work. I'm printing to a file on a Windows NT SP6 machine using Frame 6, the Acrobat 3.01 PPD, and using Distiller 4.0 (not 4.05). I've also verified that the same files can be used successfully to produce PDF with the link from Frame 5.5.2, and tried more than one set of files with Frame 6. Workarounds, anybody?
