Scenario:
- Using FrameMaker to single source print, pdf and online docs
- Inserting markers to link to external PDF resources
- Linking files with RoboHelp using Technical Communication Suite 2
Issue:
- Print and PDF are handled properly, but RoboHelp project links are broken
Solution:
Since the hypertext marker has the following syntax: “message URL Path/MyFile.pdf”, create a folder called Path inside RoboHelp baggage files folder. Place the “MyFile.pdf” in there and your generated Help should properly contain the link to the PDF.
Hint: The trick is to make sure that the PDF exists in both the place that FM looks for it, as well as the place that RoboHelp looks for it.
