Active Areas from Frame-Generated Index(es)

Is there any change in the font characteristics across the two pieces (size, weight, etc.) of your entry - the content from the marker and the leader/page number?

The default behavior is that Frame will make the link area begin at the page number (turn on the display of markers in the index) and a hyperlink will span only across text of identical font characteristics.

Generating the index isn't a problem.  It's the resulting PDF....the linking area doesn't extend to the entire index entry....only the leader dots and page numbering.

Thank you

All the best
