... I have a simple FM file (3 pages) with a named destination created via a hypertext command (Specify Named Destination) on page 2 and a hyperlink (Jump To Named Destination) to it on page 3. I create the PDF file using the Adobe Printer. In the PDF Setup I have specified Create links and Tags as well.

I need to be able to open the file using a URL command as below, in a navigator like Internet Explorer. It should open to the correct location on page 2 using this command.

file:///c:/max_jan1.pdf#nameddest=TagForMax

The PDF opens to page 1, not page 2 where the Named Destination is located. But the hyperlink on page 3 works, as clicking it brings me to page 2, to the exact location. ...


-- Are you opening the target PDF locally or is it web-based? Unfortunately, opening PDFs at a named destination functions reliably only when the target PDF is accessed from a web location.

-- Inspect your PDF in Acrobat, and check whether the TagForMax named destination indeed appears in the Destinations panel. If you created the destination using FrameMaker's newlink hypertext marker, it would have a 'M8.newlink.' prefix (see http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF12.html for more information). Either change the HTML link to reflect the destination name, or edit the destination name in Acrobat.
