Create destinations for pdf file

Question

I would like to create in Frame a destination that appears in the pdf as a destination, I would think this would work:

but in the pdf file, it doesn't appear, is there another way? Are my settings correct?

Yes, all newlink punctuation marks (_, / . $ etc.) are discarded when translated to PDF.

Do you have a reference for this EverClear product? A search turned up nothing useful. Were you thinking perhaps of the Evermap AutoBookmark component that works with links?

Sorry, you are correct, it is the Evermap product, which can do many things such as create destinations from headings (spaces become underscores), so creating online help with destinations is easy as long as

you don't change the headings.

So this question is now answered, many thanks.

FM adds a prefix to the named destination in order to make the destinations absolutely unique. Depending upon whether the file is part of a book or a single file, the exact string will vary. For a standalone file, it will be "M8.newlink.<your newlink text, e.g. target_device>" or if it's part of a book, "M1.8.newlink.target_device> where th digit after the "M" refers to the files position in the book.

You either have to add the prefix to the PDF links that you manually want to create in other applications that target the PDF you're creating or use Shlomo Perets' TimeSavers (see: FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers ) to have the prefix stripped.
