External link to location in PDF not working

I can't get an external link to open to a specific place in a PDF.  I have tried the code for named destination and a page number and nothing is working.  I actually found some good documentation on line that should me all the parameters that could be passed, unfortunately, they aren't working.
Here are the ways I have test linking into the PDF:
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#nameddest=LogO ut
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#LogOut
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#page=22
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#22
The link is stored on a wiki... but I didn't think that would make a difference.  The PDF was created using Acrobat 9.0 from a Word document.  I have made sure that the document does not have any security.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions that might help me get this to work.
I know this is shocking, but I did actually read the documentation.  LogOut is a bookmark I made with no spaces in the name.  I'm not sure what else to try.  If you have some examples or suggestions please let me know.
Thanks for your help.
Take care.

The link was copied from a post I'd made to AUC from back in 2008; so, yes it can/does work.
I've used PDF Open parameters with MSIE 5, 6, 7, & 8.
During use of any particular MSIE release I always keep it updated as MS rolls out the updates.
Used Adobe Reader 5, 6, 7, 8,  & 9 - each updated as Adobe rolled out the updates.
Used Acrobat 5 (Full), Pro 6, 7, 8, 8 3D, 9 (Pro Extd).
Again, as updates are rolled out they are applied.
Just checked again with:
MSIE 6 (fully updated) & Adobe Reader 9.3.2
MSIE 8 (fully updated) & Acrobat 3D (8.2.2)
MSIE 8 (fully  updated) & Acrobat 9 Pro Extd (9.3.2)
For all, the open parameter performed as expected.
Source PDF's Initial View is page only.
Rendered in browser showing bookmarks and opened to the specified page.
As to MSIE add-ons; this varies with the MSIE release.
IE 6 shows less than IE 8.
Various threads at Acrobat User Community may be informative.
For keyword search: "open parameters"
For Author search: "daka630"
At AUC Forum Search:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/search.php
5th post to this thread has the link I used above as well as some others -
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=15061
n.b., tried the links you provided - nothing appears in the browser - same if I delete # and all subsequent characters after the file extension.
As to "installs" - basically, I run with the out-of-the-box installs; nothing "custom".
One thing that is common to the Adobe Reader/MSIE 6 & the various Acrobat/MSIE8 checks I just did is that for "Documents" in the Preferences the 'Open Setting' of "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" is not ticked.
-- just an end note here, open parameters have been around since at least Acrobat 4.x
Be well...

  • Linking to destination in PDF not working in published project

    I have a Captivate 8 project where buttons open an external pdf to specific destinations or pages within a PDF document. I append "#" followed by the destination name or page number to the URL and that works perfectly when I'm testing the project within Captivate. However, when I publish the project and run it in a browser (IE 11 and Chrome) or the standalone Flash player, The pdf file opens on the default first page and the destination info appended to the URL is no longer there. To summarize, the destination linking works perfectly in preview mode, but it gets stripped out when the project is published. Is anyone familiar with this issue and/or how to fix it?

    Did you try previewing all the pages in browsers?
    Click on File>Preview in Browser>Preview all pages in your_browser_name.exe.

  • Linked Quicktime files in PDF not working online

    Hi.
    I'm new to iWeb. Just created very simple web page to carry three PDF files for users to view online. One of the PDF's has three small Quicktime movie clips in it. When published, the Reader cannot find the movie files. I have copied the 3 .mov files to the WEB/SITES folder on my iDisc, then re-created the path in the Acrobat file, saved it again and made sure it replaced the old .PDF in the same folder. Still no luck. Any ideas?
    You can view the page on web.me.com/lea.jagendorf
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!

    Although I can see the pdf files when viewing in the browser I download all three to view locally and two could not be opened, damaged or not of a format compatible with Preview.
    Which pdf file has the movies?
    Why not add the movies separately line in this demo page: Opening Movie in a New, Precisely Sized Window.

  • AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample - Links in PDF Not working

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an application in VS.net (similar to AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample) to display PDF files in my application.  PDF file opens fine.  But external links in PDF file are not working.  I trying to display a main index pdf file, which contains external links to 10 other PDF files.  All 10 PDF files are located in my local hard drive (main index pdf file is also located in the same folder).  If I open the main index file in Acrobat Reader then it the links are working fine.  It is not working only when it is opened inside the AcrobatActiveXVB SDK Sample.  Please help.
    Please Note: Links are not grayed.  I get the hand mouse pointer, when I mouse over to the links.
    Windows OS - XP SP3
    Acrobat Reader - Tried it with 9.1.3 & 9.3.3.  Un-installed and re-installed multiple times
    Thanks in advance.

    hello, the pdf viewer is still somewhat experimental and under very active development - you could try if the same error is occurring in the current development version, which you can download as an addon from http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi
    in case it has the the same rendering problems, you could then file a bug report at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues (a github account is necessary for it though) - please also provide a sample document where the error is apparent!

  • Location switching does not work on Vista

    Hi, my location switching does not work.  I have reinstalled my Access Connection several time but still does not work. I have several profiles and I need to switch manually depending on my location profile. My Access Connetion however seem to know the right profile (dot  next to the profile indicate it picked up the right wireless signal) but never connect to the profile
    Is there any Vista feature that is controlling the access as well? Do I need to disable? I remember the older version of Access Connection will ask to disaable some windows services when using Access connection.
    My Config is
    - R61

    - OS Vista 32 Business - with up to date patches

    Greetings Biyase, 
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like the Outlook app is not launching after you updated iOS. In this case, I recommend the troubleshooting steps found at this link:

  • CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

    CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
    Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
    When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    "Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
    Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
    I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??

    1) Throw your code away and use h:dataTable instead of c:forEach to render a table of dynamic size.
    or:
    2) Hand-assign every UIInput and UICommand element inside the loop an unique ID. E.g. "commandLinkId" + loopIndex

  • IPhone 6 location services/gps not working

    Anyone else have an issue with iPhone 6 location services/gps not working? I have had it happen to me twice where it stopped working for good 7 or 8 hours and then all of sudden it starts working again. For example, directions don't work, every time I open Apple Maps it will say "Cannot determine location", then when I press the location icon on the bottom left, it will try to search again and have an approximate location but not exact, where as the iPad that I have right next to it is able to pin point the exact location. Sometimes the location circle is pulsing blue sometimes its gray. If I am driving and have tracking on it won't track, and so on.  I have tried to setup the phone as new without restoring the backup, when it stopped working with no luck, it still didn't work. I went and restore it back from backup and few hours later it started to work again. This has happened twice now since I got the phone last Friday.

    Check your "Privacy" settings on your iPhone see what apps are using your location.

  • Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont

    Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...
    But when I try and open a PDF created on a windows computer it says:

    How are you resetting the password?
    Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • I have a 4s i upad te to ios7 and the location (GPS) is not working

    I have a 4s i upad te to ios7 and the location (GPS) is not working, mapa is working, but cant find places or tell me my location...  Can ana One help me ????

    Hello James,
    The flashing WLAN light means activity (data getting transferred). Try disconnecting all your devices and check whether the light is still flashing or disconnect the router from internet and do the check.
    Do you have your SSID as linksys or the default one? If your neighbor has the same SSID, then traffic could result from your neighbor's one. Try changing your SSID and password. Make your security WPA/WPA2.
    Hope this helps,
    Thanks

  • Why is exporting to PDF not working?

    Why is exporting to PDF not working?

    Dear Claudio,
    I know it wasn't much to go on but I got your attention!
    I work for a charity and use a program called "Donor Perfect".
    It has a feature that when you generate a report it gives you the option to export to MSWord, Excel, and PDF.
    Below is the step by step description of what happens.
     After log on ......
         1. Click on Reports
         2. Listings
         3. Report Category(any)
         4. Select Record type(any)
         5. Select report options (any selection filter that fits or Build a filter) and sort order(any)
         6. Enter title (accordingly)
         7. Click on Preview
         8. When next screen opens with report visible - in "Report Print preview" line above report choose PDF icon
         9. Export to PDF window opens
         10. click on Page range-ALL
         11. What to print-All pages in Range
         12. Save as C:\DPW32\dpsumm.pdf
         13. collate
         14. number of copies(1)
         15. Click on "Screen" 
         16. Click on "Display Conversion Status"
         17. Then "OK"
         18. After conversion status reaches "100%" nothing happens -screen does not change!
    Then I minimize DP screen and I go to Start menu 
         1. Click on Start
         2. Then "My Computer"
         3. Local Disk "C"
         4. Dpw32
         5. Look for "dpsumm" file with today's date
         6. Size of file says 0 KB and that's it!!!!
    In previous versions of DP (8 and 9)
    the PDF would open on the screen as soon as the Step 18 was finished, then I could save it with an identifying name to a different folder and use it as an attachment that a Donor could receive by e-mail.
    I hope I can get back to that because now I have to convert to "Word" (Which takes a long time)then from that I have to create PDF from Acrobat. too many steps ..... if I have 20-30 reports it's too cumbersome.
    Waiting for your suggestions,
