Caption Links in PDF Solved

[Don and Judy]

Greetings Framers, Peter G., Rebecca O., etc.,

I have solved and applied links to my book illustrations so that, when
viewing a PDF, the picture appears at the top of the page.
Here’s the process:

1.	Add a blank placeholder, < >, to all your numbered section-heading
paragraph tags. Then update them all. This must include your caption tag.
2.	Place your cursor immediately before the paragraph tag of an anchored
frame, create a new paragraph tag and insert the auto numbering sequence
from your caption tag.
3.	Then move the active numbering block <n+> from the next to last place to
the last place in the chain.
4.	Apply that tag to all your anchored frames. Keep the font black and large
enough so that as you go along you can monitor the number at the top of the
picture. It must match the number at the bottom of the picture.
5.	Once all the tags over the illustrations match the tags beneath the
pictures, format the tag’s font to 2 pts and make its color white. This will
tighten the space at the top of the picture and make the numbers disappear.
6.	Now, when you make a cross reference to an illustration, instead of
pointing to the visible caption paragraph tag, make the invisible
anchored-frame tag the source. Or change all the ones you’ve already made to
point to the invisible paragraph tag. (The format of the numbered tag won’t
affect the cross reference. The number will appear in your text in the font
of the immediate paragraph, just as with any other cross reference.)

Now, when you view the generated PDF, every time you click on an
illustration cross-reference, the picture will pop to the top of the viewing
window, with the original caption beneath it.

The only downside I’ve discovered is, if one is in Reader and searching the
word that matches the caption, “Figure” for example, the cursor will land
atop each illustration, finding the invisible word.  Odd maybe, but unlikely
to be a problem.

Thanks all for your help.
