[f2a] Linkg from Visio diagrams to FM files (final deliverable is a PDF)

[Spectrum Writing]

Thank you Shlomo very much.  I think I understand your instructions. I will
try to implement them today and if I have questions, I will ping the list
again.

 

Much appreciated,

TVB

If you are referring to including links in the native graphics that will be 
carried over as interactive items to the PDF, this requires other formats 
(e.g. SWF, with Acrobat/Reader 9 or later, or U3D, as well as 
production-side add-ons).

Even though Visio itself supports the insertion of hyperlinks for objects 
inside the drawing, this functionality is carried over to PDF when Visio 
drawings are integrated into FM (which is then converted to PDF).

With Visio (or with any other graphic format you can use in FrameMaker), 
simply add text frames in the anchored frame containing the graphics, with 
the hypertext markers defining the links (typically gotolink markers 
pointing to destinations defined with newlink markers). When the graphics 
is revised/resized, you will need to review/update the size/position of the 
text frames or the markers' content.

Set the graphic runaround property to "Don't Run Around", so that text 
frames can placed on top of the graphics without the frame content being 
"repelled".

Text frames (and the resulting PDF links) are always rectangular. 
Technically, it is possible to set the link highlight property to None so 
that no attention is drawn to the rectangle shape (e.g. when the link is 
placed over a diamond shape).
