In the HTML link, you have to append '#name' to the file name, #name being the named destination in the pdf, for example: http://www.microtype.com/showcase/ConvertFMnewlink.pdf#Inspiration #name is actually the short form of #nameddest=name, so you could also have: http://www.microtype.com/showcase/ConvertFMnewlink.pdf#nameddest=Inspiration Other variations are: #page=4 -- if you want to open the target PDF on page 4, #search=string -- to open the target PDF with the Search panel open showing locations for the specified strings, and the page with the first instance. For example: http://www.microtype.com/showcase/MultimediaAsst/Guide.pdf#Search=silentium As to named destinations in the PDF: if defined in FrameMaker using the newlink hypertext marker, a variable Mnn.8.newlink prefix is added (see http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF.html#12 for more information).
