>I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a hypertext marker pattern (or alternative) in Framemaker 8 (Win7) to create a working link in the resulting PDF to a PDF that was manually added in attachment. We tried with "message URL" but then the linked PDF has to be in the correct folder (relative to the PDF that results from the Frame file). We tried with a gotolink and named destination but the link is lost during PDF creation - which is logic as Framemaker checks and does not find a result. We can get the links to work in PDF but then it has to be done manually and that's not what we want.

You need Timesavers, from Microtype:

That's the first place to go for PDF problems in Frame.
Highly recommended.
