Page offset in a URL no longer works

[cdr...@princetonimaging.com]

Hi,

I need put magazine PDFs online and have HTML Table of Contents with
links
that take the user to a given page within the PDF. I have a sample
here:

http://www.PrincetonImaging.com/samples/golf/

I am using byteserving, which works fine. I have constructed URLs with
page offests that look like this:

http://www.PrincetonImaging.com/pdfxmt.cgi/samples/golf/pdf/gi04n04-fast.pdf#page=13

It seems that with Internet Explorer the first link you click on does
the right thing,
but subsequent on links to different page numbers take you back to the
page
that came up on the previous click.

It works perfectly with firefox. And I know I have used this method in
the past
and it used to work. Unless I screwed something up that I'm missing.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks,
Tom Johnson

The problem seems to be that when the page link is clicked, Acrobat
fires up and the selected page is displayed. BUT if you click the "Back"
button on the browser, the Acrobat process is not terminated (as can be
seen in Task Manager.) So, if you select a different page, Acrobat seems
to be confused as it hasn't let go of the previous data. If you
terminate the Acrobat process and then select another page number, the
correct page will be displayed.

At least that's the way it is working on my machine with both IE 6 and
Firefox 1.5, XP Pro, and Acrobat Standard 7.0.8

I don't know why the Acrobat process is not shutting down when the
browser leaves the .pdf file.

Hope this helps.
