FW: Pop-ups in Generated PDF

[Lin Surasky]

Okay, I just found in the online help that Pop-up menus don't actually
work in PDFs or in HTML..... So that answers THAT question.
 
So, experts, how do I insert pop-up menus in my PDF, preferably menus
whose items will link to topics later in the same document? PS frames?
 
I'd also prefer if the solution works in BOTH PDF and HTML..... Really,
is this asking too much?
Thankee!
Lin

Hi all-
 
I have to publish a HUGE flowchart for a customer that has several
levels of data within each square. In order to fit the entire chart on
one page (and have the text larger than 6 pt), I want to only display
one or two levels of data and then use hypertext commands (probably
popup menus, even though the menu options won't lead the user anywhere;
they'll just display the next level of data) to allow the user to click
an item and show the rest of the data that falls below that item.
 
I have the hypertext command working in FrameMaker (I can
Ctrl-Alt-right-click the text flow and see the next level of data in a
popup menu), but nothing's happening in the PDF. (Yes, I'm generating
Acrobat data when I create the PS file.) So, what am I missing? And why
do I have to right-click instead of left-click like usual to test the
hyperlink?
 
AND does anyone have a better way to go about this than hypertext
commands? I'm all ears.
 
I'm using FrameMaker 7.2 on Windows, unstructured for now but can go
structured if necessary.
 
Thanks muchly!
Lin
