Tooltip text for hotspot doesn't show in PDF (FM 11, Windows 7)

[Maxwell Hoffmann]

Rick is correct. I consulted internal engineering just to be sure: Tooltip (or title) is not supported by all output formats of FrameMaker or TCS. It is supported by Hotspots in HTML.

I did a test with this by creating a hotspot in FrameMaker and saving the document to PDF. The hotspot is converted to an Acrobat Link object. As far as I can see, Acrobat Link objects don't have a tooltip property. You can see this by creating a Link by hand with the Link tool. I don't see any place in the Link properties dialog box where you could specify a tooltip. So I am not sure how this could work going from Frame to PDF.

I am posting this for a co-worker.

In FrameMaker 11, I have set objects to be hotspots going to an external URL. When I generate a PDF, the hotspots work, but the tooltip text that I entered for each hotspot is not showing. Instead, when I hover over the hotspot, I see the URL. Is this a bug, or do I need to do something differently?

Thanks for any and all help!
