I'm using FM 2022 and I use Hypertext links. When I do a Save as PDF the links are not working. Is this a known bug and is there a workaround?

    Is the target of the link:
    (a) the same document, or
    (b) another document?
    Many more suspects for (b) problems.

    They should work fine in 2022. Do they work in FrameMaker when you Control+Alt+Click on them? What is your marker syntax? Are the in-document or cross-document links?

    Yes they work just fine in the FM files using Control+Alt+Click. Marker in source is Specify Named Destination. Marker in target is Jump to Named Destination. This was a known issue about a year ago with a patch I believe. Not sure if it's since been fixed or if patch still needed.

    Is the destination/source marker in a graphic frame?
