Subject:Re: Frame and PDF From:Peter Gold <pgold -at- NETCOM -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 13 Jun 1997 11:40:03 -0700
Frame does NOT write directly to .pdf. If you have a PostScript printer
driver selected, writing to a FILE with Include Acrobat Data turned on in
the print dialog box PRESERVES FrameMaker headings as Acrobat
hierarchical bookmarks, and hypertext links and cross-references as
Acrobat links.
For frame-specific stuff, comp.text.frame usenet newsgroup, and http://www.workingtogether.com are places you can post and get info.
