I use "Save as PDF" in FrameMaker 2015 unstructured, to create Adobe
Acrobat Pro DC documents, and put them on the web at "www . kouroo .
info". They work fine with the Internet Explorer browser. Recently,
however, the Google Chrome browser stopped working, in that when it is
now used to open one of my PDF documents, the links generated by
FrameMaker, such as gotoframefitwin /kouroo/webpage.fm, no longer
function.
Fortunately, there is a ready solution. There are now Google Chrome
browser extensions that teach the new Chrome to read Acrobat PDFs and
correctly interpret these FrameMaker links. There are a number of them,
free, at

and at

The problem seems to be that Google has done this to its very latest
versions of Chrome without warning, that these new PDF extensions are
as yet very poorly documented and hard to find, and that most users who
rly on the fast Chrome browser as their interface to the internet have
no clue even that they exist or that something has gone wrong. When
they try to access one of my PDFs now, they complain bitterly "Hey,
Austin, damn it, your links are broken!" They are not warned what it is
that is really going wrong -- that there is something they now need to
install.
