Cross-reference to Illustrations

Hi, colleagues

I have problem with using references to illustrations in FM, and thus in PDF documents (I use TCS 5, and therefore FrameMaker 12.02.389 is active). Still the same problem exists for FrameMaker 11 from TCS 4.

Steps:

1. I’ve created a Paragraph Style to apply for figure’s captions. Let us assume it is called “Figure_Caption”.
2. I apply this style for every caption of illustration.
3. I place every illustration’s caption UNDER an illustration.
4. Then, I create cross-references to the required illustrations using that existing “Figure_Caption” paragraph style.
5. Create a PDF file.

Problem: The reference works almost. However, in PDF file it shows the “caption” on the top of the referred page. In other words, even the referred illustration is located in the middle of page, a caption appears at the top. So reader needs to scroll up a page in order to see the referred illustration itself. This annoys our customers and me to.

Expected results:

I would expect that clicking a reference to a specific illustration (like “See Figure 4.1 ….”) opens the illustration, not a caption.

Additional info:

1. I know that placing a caption ABOVE an illustration will solve the issue, but it is not a result our customer expects.
2. The same problem occurs when I convert such FM document to RH and then generate WebHelp or WebHelp Pro.

Has anybody faced this problem? Are there any “default” solutions You know from Adobe or Your own experience?

Thanks in advance
