Expert: Wayne Johnson Date: 1/7/2008 Subject: Embed File in FrameMaker and PDF
Question I want to set up my FrameMaker document so that a link or icon is created such that, when converted to PDF, double-clicking that link or icon will open an embedded Excel document. I have tried using the Import>Objects... with the Windows OLE but it does not work correctly. The icon is only text (not the graphic) and it does not carry over to PDF. What am I missing? Thanks.
