RE: Mailto in Frame and PDF

Richard, try the following:

1. In FrameMaker, select the text (jane@asconline.com) where the hypertext link is to be created.
2. Select Special>Hypertext.
3. At the Hypertext window, select the command (Message Client) from the Command drop-down list. This inserts "message" directly into the text field.
4. In the text field, enter "URL mailto:{e-mail address}" where {e-mail address} is the specific e-mail address (i.e., jane@asconline.com) to which the e-mail is to be sent.
5. Click New Hypertext Marker.
6. Save the file and create a .PDF file.

Subject: Mailto in Frame and PDF


Hello Framers,

I want to be able to create a link in Frame that when in a PDF file will
call an email program. Now I know that mailto: will do this in HTML, is
this the same in Frame and PDF. I have tried adding the email link manually
in the pdf file, but this opens not only the email program but also a
browser, so I must be doing something wrong. Thank you everyone for your
help.
