Subject:PDF and context sensitive help II From:"Jim Rountree" <James -dot- Rountree -at- vision-bio -dot- com> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Fri, 22 Jun 2007 10:01:32 +1000
Hello all ... my first email to the group.
In Feb 2003 Bethany Rusbasan asked if it is possible to get context
senstive help links into a pdf. Lack of response to that question, and
some other comments I gleaned from the archives, suggest the answer is
no.
So I'm guessing that's still the case, but it would be great if I could
be told otherwise.
We currently write in Frame Maker and convert the user manual into PDF
and online Help with WebWorks publisher. It's not a huge problem
getting the online help files, but with several translations to do, I'd
rather skip this step entirely.
