Re: Frame 6 and PDF: links from master pages not created

[Rick.Henkel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

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.

     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?
