Hi Shelby, and welcome to the forum :-)

Answer to #1 -- absolutely yes, all the links will be active both within FM and later when you create a PDF. And yes, even links across chapters are active in both places. Generated files such as the TOC or indexes are also active hyperlinks.

#2 -- FM is excellent at table creation, so rather than maintaining your tables in a separate application, you would have them contained in your FM chapters. Can you export the Adobe Tables as any other format, e.g. RTF? If so, that can be brought into FM and the table re-created. Other people here with more PM experience might be able to suggest other methods (cut & paste ??) for bringing in the tables. It's even possible to extract the data from the PDF and recreate them.

#3 -- I'm sure somebody here will be able to point you to some online examples of manuals in PDF format generated by FM.

A couple of other resources to check out would be <http://www.frameusers.com> and <http://www.microtype.com> The Microtype site had lots of indepth info on doing the FM-->PDF process (don't let it daunt you!)
