Hyperlinks to bookmarks in external docs
Hello, I often giveth but this time I'm on the take.
I'm having a problem getting an externally linked .pdf file to open at the specific place in the document that I want it to. When I insert the hyperlink in Word (2000), I add a # at the end of the file name, then the text name of the bookmark as it appears in the Acrobat file, with no spaces before or after the #. The toggled field reads "path/file" \l "bookmark text". The doc only opens on page 1, not where the bookmark is. I can't use the Adobe "open at page #" preference because I want it to open at different places for different hypers. I've gotten it to work before, but not this time. Don't know why. Is there a setting within Word, the hyperlink, or .pdf file that would allow this? Thanks, Jim. -- Jim Hull Technical Writer |

Hyperlinks to bookmarks in external docs
Jim,
Have looked for the answer to your question for a year and a half, with no definitive results. Developed a program initially all in Word but now using bookmarked Acrobat documents. . . would like to go from Word hyperlink direct to specific Acrobat bookmark. Have tried your process (#"bookmark text) without success. You mentioned, "I've gotten it to work before, but not this time." Is there something I'm missing? It has not worked for me. Don't understand your: "The toggled field reads "path/file" \l "bookmark text". What does the \l mean? Opening in Page/Bookmark view is OK for me. Not functional to print the Word document to Acrobat. Please comment if you have time. "Jim" wrote: Hello, I often giveth but this time I'm on the take.
