Is there a way to link from a FrameMaker file to a destination in a PDF file?

[Duncan, Gary]

Thank you, Nadine. I was wondering if I could expand the openfile command with a destination that I create in the PDF. What I want to do can be done in HTML by adding #<name of destination> to the hyperlink syntax. I wondered if that could be done in Frame using the hypertext marker commands or some other way. So, this isn't a WebWorks question...yet.

Hi, Duncan:

I also recommend that you ask WebWorks ePublisher questions on the wwp-users Yahoo Group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wwp-users/). If you do, make sure you state what your input files are (eg, FM 10), what version of ePublisher you use (eg, 2012.4), and what output you create (eg, Reverb).

However, check out this article on the WebWorks site and see if that answers your question. http://www.webworks.com/Support/ePublisher/Legacy_Docs/Tech_Notes/Common/EX_ePub9_Linking_to_PDFs.shtml

Cheers,

Nadine

Hi, everyone,  How can I link from a Frame file to a destination within a PDF file? I am able to link from Frame to a PDF using the Message Client command (message open file <name of pdf>). I tried adding the HTML syntax #<name of destination in PDF>, but the link becomes dead and also does not process through WebWorks as a successful hyperlink. Any suggestions or is this impossible?Thank you,  Gary Duncan | Principal Technical Writer | Kronos Incorporated
