Hi,

I want to be able to jump right in the middle of a PDF file from
a Web link. I found out that this is possible by using a
link like

http://server.com/file.pdf#PDFMark

and inserting the following pdfmark into the PostScript
file from which the PDF is generated:

[ /Dest /PDFMark /Page 2 /DEST pdfmark

But I couldn´t get the PDFMaker macro to automatically create
such pdfmarks. If I convert a Word97 document which has internal
word links I can´t reference them with their Word names and the
PostScript document doesn´t seem to have any pdfmark entries
similar to the one above.

The internal link is working within the PDF file, though.

So how can I reference such a link from the outside (through
a web link)?

Thanks for any help!

Best wishes

Sabine

You can download the Microsoft Word pdfmark document template from Michael Little. at
http://www.codecuts.com/mainpage.asp?MenuID=164&WebPageID=265
It contains everything you need to do this.

You can also download my PDFMark named destination file that you can use at distill time.
It's located at the same place. It's the entry below the Word template.

Keep in mind that you cannot use PDFMaker to do this. You must use PDFMarks inserted through Word's
field codes command.

If you have Acrobat 4 then you can create named destinations directly in your PDF document with the
new tool.
