I扉e word97 on W2K and acrobat 5.0. I use acrobat-convert to PDF and NOT the print option.

I define bookmarks in word and convert the file to PDF. while accessing via http://www.websitename/file.pdf#nameddest=summary <http://www.websitename/file.pdf#nameddest=summary> (for e.g.) acrobat reader shows the first page and not the page with the bookmark.

the access via http://www.websitename/file.pdf#page=3 <http://www.websitename/file.pdf#page=3> is ok.

what can I do to access via destname?

Elmar,

Bookmarks in Word are different from bookmarks in Acrobat. You need to create named destinations in your PDF in order for your links to work.

Word bookmarks are not converted into named destinations in the PDF file. As Jeanie said, you can create the named destinations in your PDF file. Alternatively, you can place PDFmark code for named destinations in your Word document, either in PRINT fields or included EPS files. Searching the forum for "named destination and pdfmark" will bring up more information.

(Actually, my search just didn't. So here's an example:

{ PRINT \p page "[ /Dest /destname /View [ /Fit ] /DEST pdfmark" }

For more information, read the Acrobat PDFmark Guide or/and Thomas Merz chapter on pdfmarks from Web Publishing with Acrobat/PDF, which is available at www.pdflib.com).

Since MS Word 2007 you can save PDF file from Word and convert source document bookmarks AND / OR headings to PDF bookmarks. If advanced / Acrobat-specific PDF manipulations are
not required, you can use only MS Word to convert DOC(X) bookmarks or headings to pdf named destinations. But you should use third-party add-ins for MS Word.

PDF Destinator for Word add-in extends MS Word's standard export options and allows to convert PDF bookmarks (or document headings) to PDF named destinations during the PDF export process. You can also validate bookmarks, define custom character replacements, point existing bookmarks to newly created Named Destinations etc.

So, you do not need a full version of Adobe Acrobat any more to create PDF named destinations. More info: http://pdfw.grifir.com

Why are you replying to a 12 year old post ?
Do you think the Elmar Merget has been waiting 12 years for your reply ?
You don't think we all know that in the past 12 years of the Portable
Document Format there are many ways to accomplish task that were not
available in 2002 ?

We all know you are deliberately rehashing an old post to specifically spam
some shit software ?
