FM9 -> RH8 wrong format import

[Stefan4321]

Hello,

I have a big document in FM9 with hyperlinks. The hyperlinks are visible through a special character design (blue with underline). After importing in RH8 the text after the hyperlink until the next linebreak is also blue and underlined. Are there any known isues about that problem?

Please see the pictures below:

Sorry, but image uploading was not possible, so I used imageshack..

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with html coding. But I would be happy if someone could help me!

As a quick fix, highlight the text that should not be hyperlinked, right click on it and select Remove Hyperlink. You should be left with just the required text hyperlinked.

Hi!

Thank you for your fast answer. The problem is, that the document has more than 1000 pages, so it would be _much_ better if there were a automatic soultion since the layout in FM9 is correct.

This topic really should be in the FrameMaker Integration forum. I will move it if you wish.

I think someone else had a similar issue and it was something to do with their FM styles. Not sure but take a look there.

Im on the way to trace the problem..

I removed the character design. Now is the whole paragraph blue and underlined and the whole paragraph is a hyperlink to the linked PDF-file. So the question is: How is a Hypertext connected to the text in FM9?

According to that link: http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=24377&seqNum=4

The connection is done through different character style. This is working in FM9 and in PDF-Output from FM9:

But in RH the hypertext is expanded to more than the highlighted text.

The problem is not realy solved, but I found a workaround:

RH marks all hypertext blue with underline. The wrongly highlighted text comes from my own character style - it is expanded to the following text however. So I changed the mapping in RH that my hypertext-character from FM is imported as normal text. This solves not the original problem but it hides it
