Hello -
Our team is trying to come up with an online template so we can convert our
Frame docs to PDF yet still maintain a printable piece.
We're working out some of the navigational issues, but I'm not clear on what
Frame does - I need someone to confirm my suspicions or tell me I'm using
the product incorrectly.
First I generate my Frame book with appropriate TOC. I then select "Set Up
File" for the TOC and elect to "Create Hypertext Links" and click "Set". I
then create the PDF.
Confusion: Are my TOC links in the PDF only supposed to appear in the
Bookmarks pane or do should they also be generated on the TOC pages (so that
if I click a title, I go to the page)?
Also, a colleague has developed sidebar graphics that bleed to the edge of
the page. Somehow though when I generate the PDF, the images are "trimmed".
Her PDF files look fine - what setting of mine is incorrect?
