Thank you for the replies. I tried consolidateNamedDestinations() but it didn't work. Trying SimpleNamedDestination.ExportToXML(etc...) for the Word 2007 generated PDF gives an empty destination list so maybe Word isn't creating proper NamedDestinations and that is why.
Anyway, I see now from more Googling that this is possible by looping through the annotations on the Word table of contents pages (with PdfName.ANNOTS), checking which is a "/Link" and then looking at PdfName.DEST for each link. And something like: curAnnot.Remove(PdfName.DEST) curAnnot.PutEx(PdfName.A, New PdfAction(PdfAction.NEXTPAGE)) will change a link in the Word table of contents to a link to the next page. I have more to figure out in order to change NEXTPAGE to a GotoLocalPage for the correct page, but I can see that this is absolutely doable.

If I recall correctly, PdfReader has a method named consolidateNamedDestinations(). This replaces all the local named links with the actual destinations. Would that be a solution for you? This way the names would disappear, but the destinations would be preserved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
