Multiple links to same topic #PDF #linking

mganir@...
 

I have a long topic with more than one xref to a reference topic in the same project. When I transform to PDF, the first link to the reference topic works, but the second one does not. The text for the link is displayed (See Reference topic), but the link is broken. I have tried this with other files and other links, and an xref that is used more than once in a single topic is always broken on the second or third instance. When I output to webhelp, all the links work. 

Does anyone know what the issue might be in the PDF transform?

Thanks, 
Marisa

Hi Marisa,

I'm afraid I cannot reproduce your problem with DITA OT 3.6.

What DITA OT version are you using? Do you have extra PDF customizations? Can you maybe come up with a small trimmed down DITA project (a map and a couple of topics) exemplifying the problem?

Regards,

Radu

Hi Radu, 

I'm using DITA OT 2.4, and I do have extra PDF customizations, but when I test with the base PDF2 transform, I have the same issue. In the output of the attached files, the duplicate links to "Test concept" are shown on page 3. 

Thanks for taking a look!

Hi Marisa,

    
I'm attaching the PDF I obtain by using DITA OT 3.6. The link
      text seems to be computed fine in both links. So maybe you should
      consider upgrading your publishing engine.

    

    
Regards,

    
Radu
