Cross Referencing Multiple Book Files

Julie,
When creating cross-references between books, the directory structure
relationship between the files must be maintained. If the folder
structure, when you created the links looks like:

ReleaseNotes
Book1
  Book1.pdf
Book2
  Book2.pdf
Book3
  Book3.pdf

the resultant PDFs must maintain the same relationship, forever, for the
links to work correctly.

If you are relocating the PDFs to one folder, you will get broken links.

Hi All!

I am creating Release Notes that need to cross-reference to files in 
other books. For example, I have a new feature that I list in this file 
and have cross-referenced to the full explanation in the Using manual. 
The next new feature cross-references to the Configuration manual, etc. 
After creating the Release Notes, PDF the cross-references don't work.

When I click on the link in the PDF, I get the message that "the 
specified file config.pdf does not exist." When I generate the online 
help, it says that there are unresolved xrefs (which are not unresolved 
xrefs in the Frame file). I have updated the links, to no avail. I have 
tried creating the PDF with all the book files and individuals files 
open and I have tried it with only having the book files open. In the 
PDF Setup dialog box, Links tab, "Create Named Destinations for All 
Paragraphs" is selected. What am I doing wrong?

FrameMaker 7.0p579 - WWP for Frame v. 8.0.8.2296 - Windows XP

Thanks!
Julie
