Not so fast, Emily. We're experiencing a problem, which I'll write up and submit
to the list when I summon the energy, with 5.5.6 files converted to FrameMaker 6
and subsequently distilled to PDF files. All of our links work fine EXCEPT the
handy little buttons in the left margin that take you to the TOC or index. Those
buttons don't work in the PDF files. They work just dandy in the Frame files.
Sooooo... it might be a good idea to keep copies of those 5.5.6 files if you
intend to create PDFs, just in case you encounter this problem.
Best of luck,
Jo (hoping to live happily ever after)

If you can remain calm, you
just don't have all the facts.
