Define focused links/bookmarks to external
PDFs or help files
FrameMaker's gotolink/gotopage hypertext markers won't be
of any use if you want to define links to specific pages in external
PDFs (for example, PDFs provided by vendors or authored in other
applications). Adding the links or bookmarks manually in your
PDFs means that this effort will have to be repeated every time
you update your PDFs. But with the ~PdfPageLink or ~PdfPageBmk
TimeSavers shortcuts, these actions can be defined in your FrameMaker
file, once. Upon distilling, your PDFs will have links or bookmarks
which open the target file at the specified page, in the same
window or in a new window. The FrameMaker definition will have
to be updated only if page location in the external PDF changes.
Example: Page-based
links (PDF: 52K) defined with the
~PageLink shortcut, opening an external PDF (PDF: 87K)
at the specified page, in a new window
Links to help files: Defining links or bookmarks to open
help files (hlp/chm) in specific topics is not possible even
if you are willing to do it manually, but this can be done easily
with the TimeSavers' ~helplink/~helpbmk or
~CHMlink/~CHMbmk custom shortcuts.
