Hello All,

I have found an anomaly in Acrobat 6.0.1 which may be of interest
to readers.

In an Acrobat PDF file, a link or bookmark can have an action "EXECUTE MENU ITEM".
The menu item to be executed is identified by an MENU ITEM NAME stored in the
PDF file.

If the PDF file was created with Acrobat 5.05, then the MENU ITEM NAMES for
search operations are as follows:

                        Acrobat 505 menu name           Acrobat 6.0.1 compatible ?

start new search        AcroSrch:Query                  yes
go to next search hit   AcroSrch:NextHit                no
go to prev search hit   AcroSrch:PrevHit                no
see search results      AcroSrch:Results                no

If the PDF file is viewed with Acrobat 6.0.1, then only one of the above
actions will work.  The others will not work.

I am aware that Acrobat 6 uses new MENU ITEM NAMES for the search actions.
However, I believe that the old names should ALSO be supported to ensure
compatibility with legacy documents.  It seems strange that one of the
above is supported, but the others are not.

comments welcome,

George.
