FM2020: OpenObjectID errors occur in generated LOF (functioning links aren't being created)

In FM 2020, my Book file's Generated TOC and IX files work fine, but clicking on links in the LOF displays OpenObjectID errors, and don't link to the figures in the Chapter files. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Try this: edit one of the markers in the LOF and make sure that the first word is spelled with this case:

    openObjectId

    The capital "O" in Open is suspicious to me.

      Per your suggestion, I just edited the 1st link in the LOF, and now it works perfectly. Thank You for your sharp eyes, and for the suggestion to resolve this  frustrating issue!

      Of course, my question is why the links came out this way: OpenObjectId instead of openObjectId. If this happens when you generate the file it is definitely a bug.

      Hi,

       

      Do the links work in the PDF?

      Did you do a MIF wash of your LOF? (Save as MIF, open the MIF and save as FM again.)

      Possibly something on the reference pages of your LOF might not be correct.

      There are paragraphs like this one:

      openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId>

      What I would test with a backup of your files:

      Create an additional LOF with the very same settings as the original one. Import paragraph formats from your old LOF into the new one. Update the book.

      Then import the reference pages of this new LOF into your old one.

      Delete the new LOF from the book. Update.

      Test whether the links work now.

       

      Best regards

       

      Winfried

      Hi, Winfried - 

      Unfortunately, links didn't work in the .pdf. I checked the reference page content, and it appears to be identical.

      I'll try a MIF wash and duplicate the LOF - thank you very much for the suggestions.

      Best Regards,

      Randall
