Good morning all.
I have had limited success with this and previously posted up inquiries but
received no replies. Still looking for some guidance or assistance.
I'm using Standard Framemaker, version 7.2 and Acrobat 8.1.3 Professional
I use Microsoft Front Page for editing the HTML side of things with a frame
going down the left and side of the screen which launches a PDF of a manual,
broken down by chapter. I have discovered that, yup, the HTML side will
allow a user navigate to the PDF, but when using cross-references in PDFs
from within a document to within another document, the "navigation" doesn't
work.
Examples:
1. If a user is in Chapter 1...and there is a direct link to Chapter 5
(chapter to chapter), the navigation works and it works well.
2. If a user is at Paragraph 1.14.3 and attempts to go to Chapter 5,
the navigation works and it works well.
3. Now, if a user is at Paragraph 1.14.3 and attempts to go to
Paragraph 5.3.7, the cross-reference between chapters will take the user to
Chapter 5.at its beginning and not the intended "target" of Paragraph 5.3.7.
Am I making any sense?
So I'm still in a quandary over this. The above problem manifests itself in
ANY web browser and I've attempted to use 4 of them to see if one version
works better or as well as another.no luck.
This is just prototyping but it has been sitting on the back burner for a
while..still looking for some guidance or assistance.
All the best
