Hyperlinks in FrameMaker documents or PDF files created from FrameMaker are shorter than expected

Issue

Hyperlinks in FrameMaker documents or in PDF files made from FrameMaker are too short; they do not extend to the end of the paragraph tab.

Detail

You have a format change (that is, a new character tag or format override) in the line.

Solutions

Do one or more of the following:

Solution 1: Insert an additional hypertext marker after the format change.

Copy the hypertext marker from the beginning of the link and paste it after the format change.

Solution 2: Remove extra character tags or format overrides.

Remove extra character tags or format overrides from the paragraph tag.

Background information

Hyperlinks in FrameMaker extend from the hypertext marker that is inserted at the beginning of the link untilk the next formatting change (that is, character tag or format override) or until the end of the paragraph. If there is a formatting change before the end of the paragraph, the hypertext link will end.
