Subject:Re: New PDF linking From:Wendy Lewis <wlewis -at- NCLOGIC -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 20 Feb 1998 17:05:50 -0500
OK. This is making me crazy too.
I tried following the book's and Kathryn's advice. I get exactly the same
results as when I pdf'd with no documents open. I have 5 external links in
my book. Two are to the first page of a glossary, which is a single file
pdf. These have always worked -- no problems. The other three are to
newlink markers in another book. One gives me the error that Franky cited.
One does absolutely nothing. And, one opens the book but does not go to the
newlink marker. They all have exactly the same syntax, caps, spaces, etc.
Yyyyyaa! {:O
Can anybody give me a clue or direction to search in?
