External Linking - Cross-ref or Hyperlink?

[Lisa Freeman]

Hello All,

FrameMaker 10, Unstructured. A co-worker has a 3 volume set of manuals and needs to create links between various files within the manual sets. I can make the links work using a cross-reference easily but it creates an absolute link path. These links will obviously not work when delivered to her customer.

Is there a way to force Frame (and the resulting PDF file) to use a relative path instead? I see where that's an option using a hyperlink but it seems like it should be possible in a cross-ref. She has literally hundreds of these links to do so I'm trying to find her the easiest way accomplish her task.

Please note that we are not in a position to write a script at this time and she will be maintaining these manuals for at least the short term anyway.

We appreciate any tips you can provide!

Sincerely,
Lisa Freeman
