---------------------------------------
Hi [~jgoncalves] ,
Per your suggestion, I opened SomeTopicsWithDests.pdf in Acrobat Professional,
added one named destination called Page5 to page 5, and saved it as a different
file:
!image-2025-07-30-08-16-57-339.png!
Then, when I closed and reopened the file, the destination view was indeed
blank again:
!image-2025-07-30-08-18-24-596.png!
But thanks to your tips, I downloaded and installed PDF-Xchange Editor, and
that application does show all my expected named destinations:
!image-2025-07-30-08-23-21-542.png!
So, in the end, I see that my original problem is a bug in Adobe Acrobat, and
Apache FOP is working perfectly. Thank you very much for helping me through
this, and please feel free to close this ticket as "not a bug".

> Please allow me to report a potential bug with the creation of named
> destinations in PDFs from Apache FOP.
> Consider the attached SomeTopicsWithDests.fo. It attempts to create several
> named destinations using the syntax specified on
> [https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.11/extensions.html] . Specifically:
> * It includes xmlns:fox="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/extensions"; in
> the fo:root element.
> * It defines id attributes for several fo:block elements.
> * It defines fox:destination elements for those fo:block elements.
> Apache FOP 2.11 processes the file with no errors and creates the attached
> SomeTopicsWithDests.pdf. However, that PDF has no named destinations:
> !image-2025-07-10-10-51-33-270.png!
> If this is a bug, I hope you can fix it. If it's not, please explain what I'm
> doing wrong so I can get Apache FOP to generate named destinations for my
> file. Thank you!
