Figure cross references not working in PDF

[Fei Min Lorente]

Hi David:

I have the same FrameMaker version and Acrobat version and I had the
same problem with cross-references to figures and tables. That is, I'm
assuming you mean that in the PDF, the link to the target doesn't work?

I had to solve it by turning on "Create Named Destinations for All
Elements and Paragraphs". You'll find this under the Links tab on the
PDF Setup (Format > Document). The down side is that it bloats your file
something terrible (can make it five times as big). You can solve this
by manipulating the PDF file later in Acrobat, but I haven't done this
since using Acrobat 6, and I don't remember exactly how. Shlomo would
say this is risky anyway.

Since we automated our output from FrameMaker, I had to find another way
to unbloat our PDFs, so I invested in TimeSavers because it has an
unbloat feature. You can get more information about TimeSavers here:

HTH.

Subject: Figure cross references not working in PDF

I have both Figure (Figure 5-3) and Heading and Page (see ABC on page
43) cross references in my book. The Heading and Page links work fine
throughout the PDF but the Figure references don't work at all. I've
tried creating the PDF by using both Save As to PDF and printing the
book to PDF - both with the same result.

 

My "Figure Title" paratag is included on the Tags tab. Does anyone have
a suggestion?

 

Frame 7.2, Adobe Reader 7, and Acrobat 9

 

Thanks in advance.
