I have a FrameMaker 8 file with internal hyperlinks. When I test them in FrameMaker they work but when I PDF the file SOME of them are not working. I'm using Acrobat 8 as well.

CArol, can you specify exactly what version of FM you're using, from Help > About, including the "pxxx" numbers. Also, please tell us how you create the PDF.

For starters I'd definitely suggest updating to the latest p277 version, as there were several fixes to hyperlink capability -- be sure to install each of the the individual updates in sequence, as Adobe doesn't do "roll-up" updates for FrameMaker Also double-check your Acrobat version is up to date as well.

Carol, Make sure that in your PDF Settings, under the Links tab, that the "Create Named Destinations for all Elements and Paragraphs" option is checked.

Try removing the marker at the destination and remaking the link. First make sure that you cross reference style has a character style built into it and that the style is applied to the marker. Also, I've found that sometimes (with hyperlinks) having imported styles (you'll know because there's a *) causes Framemaker to disregard the hyperlink command. Remove the character style, apply a different paragraph style and then reapply the character style.

I am experiencing the same issue. In FM, the links work fine. In PDF, they do not. I am also using FM8 from the Adobe TechComm. Suite.

Carol: If you haven't sorted this out yet, please clarify what does or doesn't happen when you click the PDF'ed hyper links. Also, what do the links point to? An HTML page ala <http://>, or a browser-openable file (HTML or otherwise) on disk? More specifically, if you're hyper linking to a file, trying opening the link directly in your browser. If the browser can't process the link directly, it also can't process a link passed to it via Acrobat or Acrobat Reader...(?) Cheers & hope this helps,. Riley
