Hello,
I just joined, have only used FM for 9 months, and have been around and around this issue with Adobe. We want to distribute our PDFs to Linux, Windows, and Unix. They work as shown below on Windows 32-bit and -64 bit versions of XP and Vista Business.
I am using gotolink [folder name]/myotherfile.fm:[linkname], but gotolink [folder name]/myotherfile.pdf:[linkname] works more often than the fm extension does. Here is my "test script":
link one = gotolink ./genh_toc.fm:one (OK on Windows, FAIL on Linux)
link two = gotolink genh_toc.fm:one (OK on Windows, FAIL on Linux)
link three = gotolink ./genh_toc.pdf:one (OK on Windows, FAIL on Linux)
link four = gotolink genh_toc.pdf:one (OK on Windows, PASS on Linux)
link five = openlink genh_toc.pdf:firstpage (OK on Windows, PASS on Linux)
link six = openlink genh_toc.pdf:1 (OK on Windows, FAIL on Linux)
link seven = openlink ./genh_toc.pdf:firstpage (OK on Windows, FAIL on Linux)
link eight = openlink genh_toc.fm:1 (OK on Windows, FAIL on Linux)
I am not using a relative path, because the PDFs are all in the same directory. I have tried the relative path on Linux with ".\" but it made no difference on our test machine.
And of course I have a deadline that's approaching fast.
Help?
