Can FrameMaker interface with SQL? I have a 320-page SQL report that I need to write as a pdf that has each of those pages bookmarked. We can of course pdf the SQL report, but don't know whether SQL can identify its fields so that distiller then automatically bookmarks those fields.

Alternatively, we are considering whether Frame can link to the SQL so that when we pdf the Frame file we can use Frame headings that--when specified in Distiller--will write a bookmarded pdf.

The worst case scenario is to import each page of the pdf'd SQL report into Frame (as a figure, for example), and then apply Frame headings to achieve the bookmarked pdf.

Any ideas or experience out there? I appreciate it. kab
