Thread-topic: Destinations in PDF from Framemaker
I'm working through a problem. I think I'm close but could use some assistance. I create a PDF document with Acrobat Distiller 6. The source of the document is Framemaker 6. This document provides reference information for more than 1,000 fields in a database. I would like to be able to link from an HTML page or a web-based application to a specific field in the document. I don't want to link to page numbers as the document often changes. Linking through Acrobat wouldn't be doable because we create a new PDF each time we make a change to the document. I believe I should be using named destinations in the PDF file. The linking looks straightforward. The URLs would be: ../filename.pdf#destination where "destination" is the destination name in the PDF file. My problem is I don't know how to add named destination through Framemaker. Perhaps I'm close. Each field in the reference document has a custom marker attached to it for indexing purposes. The custom marker name is FieldName. The marker text for each FieldName marker is the field name. For example, ABC, DEF, GHI, and so on. How do I convert these custom markers to destinations when I create my PDF? I hope I don't need to add a new set of hypertext markers for each field. Any help would be appreciated.
