Cross references in FM to table titles don't work in PDF

I'm using FrameMaker 8.0p277.

I've inserted numerous links to Table titles in a book. They work when I Ctrl+Alt click them in the FrameMaker file. However, none of them work in the resulting PDF.

All other cross references to Heading styles and URLs work fine, it's just those to table titles that fail.

I've tried checking the paragraph & character styles for any gotchas as I've been caught by those before, but there don't appear to be any.

Anyone any ideas what isn't working?

    No, that option is not selected.


    Please try it then. Note: it's usually recommended to have this enabled when creating interactive PDFs from FM. The post-processing routines tend to be a tad aggressive and remove valid links.

    Exactly what kind of "links" were inserted to the table titles? Cross-refs, hypertext gotolink, cross-file links to a named destination or... ?

    Hi Arnis,

    Just cross references.

    When you create your PDF, do you have the "Create Named Destinations for all Paragraphs" option checked in the PDF Setup Links panel?
