Wonderful! Hello Paulo - thank you for writing - and for being one of 
the authors of such a marvelously useful library.

Okay - so the value you chose was arbitrarily large, but otherwise has 
no significance.

That's interesting. I wonder if anyone from Adobe is reading this, 
because they might be able to comment on it?

To recap from my earlier posting:-

If I generate a link to page 1 of an external PDF using iText, then in 
the Adobe reader, with a very few target files, I end up on the wrong page.

With other readers I end up on the right page.

I do not know what significant charateristics the offending target files 
have.

If I export the links using the Evermap AutoBookmark plug-in for Adobe, 
delete all the links, and re-import them (using the same plug-in), then 
the problem disappears.

Since the only difference between 'before' and 'after' is 10000 vs 
-32768, and this was (presumably) produced by the Adobe software, I 
guess Adobe have a reason for using -32768.


What conditions would have to be met for iText to change the constant to 
-32768?


Regards

Paul.
