As I've tried, and evidently failed, to communicate, the issue is that clickable X-refs in text insets become un-clickable when the FrameMaker document or book is generated as a PDF. I believe at this point that this situation exists simply because no one has previously explained why Adobe ought to pay attention to the problem. (I don't know where the x-refs in headers / footers came from -- in any event I never do anything like that). Finally, it's true that ArborText makes a family of products designed to provide a content management and single-sourced documentation environment. However, ArborText's products can hardly be called entry-level products either from the standpoint of cost or useability. FrameMaker 7 provides a good beginning, particularly in conjunction with Quadralay Web Works Publisher. However, Adobe needs to address some of its omissions in the product -- such as the clickability of x-refs contained in text-insets -- to make FrameMaker 7 a wonderful small to mid-level entry point into the content management game. So near and yet so far...
