Adove Acrobat 9 Pro. - Named Destinations

I have a word document created to make Named Destinations when it is printed to pdf (using tags like: {PRINT "[ /Dest /Formname/DEST pdfmark" \* MERGEFORMAT} ).
When printing to pdf using Acrobat 7 and 8 the Named Destinations show up in the pdf perfectly. When printing to pdf using Acrobat 9 the Named Destinations do now show up at all.
I've tried playing around with the Acrobat 9 settings but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

The Mac users need to use Adobe Reader to fill in the forms instead of the Mac Preview application that comes' with the Mac.

Will Acrobat Reader recognize an HTML bookmark as a named destination?

I have a Word file with bookmarks. I make a PDF from this file. How do I code an HTML link in a different file that will open the PDF at the location of a bookmark.
I asked a similar but maybe less precise question yesterday. The response I received had links to articles that described how to use a named destination. One article said a plugin was needed. The article was for Acrobat 7. I cannot assume readers will have the plugin. An article also described some steps to go through probably with Acrobat to identify the named destinations. This set of steps is not a direction I want to go either. I don't want to identify bookmarks everytime I reprint the file. Maybe the question I am asking is "will Acrobat Reader recognize an HTML bookmark as a named destination?"
The response I received yesterday included the following:
You can possibly use "Named destination" instead of bookmarks.
To create them: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd6 15109794195ff-7ca7.w.html
To link to them: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/link-html-pdf-page-acrobat.html
In my HTML file is the following:
<a href="LinkTestDestinationFile.pdf#nameddest=RevisionHistory">Revision History</a>
RevisionHistory is a bookmark I made in my Word file. The bookmark marks the section Revision History. The link above does not open LinkTestDestinationFile.pdf at the Revision History section. I do not have the plugin suggested in one of the articles mentioned above.

With Adobe Acrobat you can create named destinations.
Bookmarks and named destinations are not the same.

File Character Limit with Acrobat 9 Pro File Naming

I'm experienceing an issue that I'm sure was not there with previous versions of Acrobat. When printing a Word file with a long name to Acrobat (File->Print -> Adobe PDF) the original file name is being shortened and the end replaces by a series of "..."s.
If I print a document named
"The_Quick_Brown_Fox_Jumps_Over_The_Lazy_Dog_Sleeping_Under_The_Shadey_Tree.doc"
it will be converted to Acrobat as
"The_Quick_Brown_Fox_Jumps_Over_The_Lazy_Dog_Sleeping_Under….pdf"
The original file's name is only 74 characters. I thought that Acrobat could create file names with up to 255 characters?
Is there a setting I can modify to have Acrobat keep the original file's long name?
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro (part of the CS5 Suite) with Vista64.
Thanks.
Russell

Solved: It appears to be a Microsoft Word issue as it doesn't occur with other apps. When using the built-in 'convert to PDF' tool within Word the file name length is respected. It's an older version of Word (Word 2002 SP3). I printed a file using the same name length with Wordperfect and it works fine.
I know this isn't a Word help forum, but if anyone does have a solution to offer it would be appreciated :-)

FM10/Acrobat X 10-use named destinations for PDF linking

My company wants our documentation to be accessible from a web page. No problem there. But they want to provide users with links that open the PDF files to a specific section.
My books are in FM10. I created hypertext named destinations (example hyperlink syntax: newlink alarm) at the points where they want to open the PDF. I then saved the book to PDF, with the Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs check box selected.
We are now trying to build a link from the web page to open the PDF at the named destination. Here is some info from the web developer on his syntax:
These zoom but do not position you to the named destination:
     <a href="Documentation/IO.OS 2.1.3 Technical Overview.pdf#nameddest=alarm&zoom=40">Tech Doc</a>
     <a href="Documentation/IO.OS 2.1.3 Technical Overview.pdf#alarm&zoom=40">Tech Doc</a>
This positions to the indicated page and zooms:
     <a href="Documentation/IO.OS 2.1.3 Technical Overview.pdf#page=20&zoom=40">Tech Doc</a>
What are we doing wrong? I've been searching the forums and community help and we've tried all the syntax examples we can find. Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

Hi Kim,
Our team recently found a way to put custom named destinations in our FrameMaker files that can be used for linking to specific places in the PDF output (with no strange alphanumeric codes added to the named destinations).
The named destinations are anchored in FM so they stay with whatever heading/text/graphic/etc they are "attached" to, even as content is added to/removed from the FM files.
Will the following work as part of the solution you're looking for? (We're also using FM10 and Acrobat X.)
In FM, insert a new text frame object.
Type the following code in the text frame: [/Dest /Help123/Dest pdfmark
where “Help123” is the name that will appear in the PDF for this named destination. This is name you would use in your hyperlinks. Our programmers use this name for the context-sensitive help links in the user interface.
Right-click on the text frame and select Object Properties. Click to select the PostScript Code check box, then click the Set button.
NOTE: Once the PostScript Code check box is selected, the text in the text frame cannot be edited. To edit the text in the text frame, you have to first turn off the PostScript Code option, edit the text, and then turn the PostScript Code option back on.
Select the text frame object, then cut and paste to create a new instance of it. This places the text frame inside an anchored frame.
You can now “attach” the anchored frame to whatever heading/figure/text/etc the named destination should link to.
Here's the catch. To get the named destination in the PDF output, you can’t use the “Save as PDF” command in FM – you must print to PDF instead:
In the FM file, click File >> Print Setup.
Select Adobe PDF in the Name drop-down list, then click the Properties button.
Deselect the Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts check box, then click OK.
Click OK.
Click File >> Print.
Select the Generate Acrobat Data check box.
Click the PDF Setup button to define bookmark links, print quality, etc, then click the Set button when done.
Click the Print button.
The generated PDF file should contain all the bookmarks you’ve defined as well as all the named destinations you added (with the exact names you specified).
Hope that helps. Thanks, and good luck,
Jason

Acrobat X Pro file re-naming

Acrobat X Pro requires file re-naming to edit and re-save a previously created PDF.
I create a PDF, name it and save it.
Then I want to re-open and edit the same PDF.
When I edit and hit save Acrobat requires I re-name the file to save the changes.
It is a bother. I should be able to save changes without creating a new file with a unique name each time I edit.

Make sure the Preview panel in Windows Explorer is disabled.

How to create Named Destination using Acrobat SDK

I have to bookmark a paragraph or section. I am using JSO and using textselect I am selecting a paragraph/section. Now I want to create a Named Destination so that it can be assigned to a bookmark. Kindly help me out.

How to create a Bookmark and set action to a named destination using Acrobat SDK?

I want to create a bookmark using JSO and set it Bookmark Action to a Named Destination. I am able to select required required paragraph/section using PDTextselect, create a bookmark using JSO but I am not able to set Bookmark Action to a Paragraph/section. Can anyone help me out to set Bookmark Action to a Paragraph/Section. I don't know how to create Named Destination.

What if we select required text and by ussing App method
MenuItemExecute call "Highlight Selected Text".
But what is the Menu Item Name of "Highlight Selected Text" under Tools>Comment & Markup>Text Edit.

Links to named destinations in IFRAME positioning the PDF a page and half past

I created a PDF file w/ named destinations so that I can allow the Internet user w/ browser and Acrobat Reader plug-in to link to specific sections of the PDF. The zoom is set to Fit Horizontally, and the position is the top of the page in my example PDF. I used Acrobat Pro 8.1 to create the PDF.
Problem is when trying to load the PDF into an IFRAME, displayed with the named destination using a tag like:
<a href="http://ekensqldev5/ePadmin/documents/Raw.pdf?rand=1000#view=FitH&nameddest=Mission" target="myframe" >Click 1 </a>
When clicking on the link to the named destination, the .pdf is loaded or reloaded into an IFRAME and the page with the named destination is usually correctly displayed. Only in IE 6,7,8 the pdf will frequently (about 1 out of 4 times) be positioned a page and a half past the named destination. Clicking to a different link, and then back to the original link will usually reposition the PDF correctly. Chrome and Firefox always position the PDF exactly to the named destination. I'd like to know how to create the named destination so that it will always be positioned correctly, or to use a different link that will always position correctly. I'm using Reader 9.1.2

I'm working with Lyle on this, and I have done some additional testing.
What I found is that the positioning for named destinations seems to work ok with IE8 when the html page and pdf file are located on one of our external web servers (rather than local intranet servers).
I am wondering if this is due to the latency involved in downloading the file, allowing the DOM to register the plugin?
I've posted a query at Microsoft's forum, but they are pointing me back to Adobe...saying they cannot know how the plugin handles rendering...even though I responded that it seems to work across the board with Firefox and Chrome.
Here is my thread in the Microsoft forum.

Prevent document name from appearing in named destinations?

Is there a way to prevent the InDesign document name from appearing as part of the named destinations that get automatically generated when exporting to PDF?
For example, I add a text anchor named "Help" to a particular heading in an InDesign document; I want a named destination in the exported PDF file that is simply named "Help" but instead the named destination in the PDF appears in this format:
InDesignDocumentName.indd:Help
(I understand I can modify the named destination in the PDF file, but that solution won't work for what I need to do.)
I am using CS5 and Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks in advance,
Jason Nichols

Links can have destinations to more than one document, therefore the Destination name: will need to declare what document it is referencing, even if only one doc is used.
However on the mac I was able to save a document with just a space, and no file extension. In the PDF for the link properties and destination name I see this: Destination name: :Help

InDesign CS6 & Acrobat X Pro Issues

When I create a form in InDesign CS6 and import it into Acrobat X Pro, and then Export as PDF, when you fill in the form, nothing shows or prints, but the data is there when you click on the field.
So... I delete the form fields from InDesign and recreate them in Acrobat X Pro. Now the fields show and print correctly. Happens on both PC/Mac. Ultimate destination for the forms is on the Android OS for Galaxy 10.1 tablet.
But... the calculate fields that worked before now do NOT work in the recreated fields from Acrobat X Pro. Worse, no options show up at all when you click "Pick" to select the fields to calculate. Need HELP as soon as possible so I don't lose a good client.
Link to forms is here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z3xhhkrw3z3tyg6/js8ufWUgVF

Here's what I posted in the other topic you posted in:
In this case you can also use the simplified field notation, though it would be much easier if you were to change your field names. For example, the first row you want to sum the following two fields:
"REG. HRS" and "O.T. HRS"
Since the field names include the period and space characters these need to be escaped, so you'd have to enter the following:
REG\.\ HRS + O\.T\.\ HRS
If you were to change the names to:
"REG_HRS" and "OT_HRS"
The simplified field notation entry would be simply:
REG_HRS + OT_HRS
If you were to further refine the field naming scheme to something like:
Row 1: R1.REG_HRS, R1.OT_HRS
Row 2: R2.REG_HRS, R2.OT_HRS
A single script could be used for all of the rows, and called in the calculate event of each "DAILY TOTAL" field. I realize this may sound like jibberish at the moment, but if you want to pursue it, post again. In the mean time, the simplified field notation option will work.

How to control Named Destinations in Bookmarks?

Using Frame 8, Acrobat Pro X.
In the generated pdf, properties of the bookmark show we will “Execute a menu item” and “Use Named Destination”, e.g. G1.1007744. If I choose Browse, a long list of destinations is provided but I have no idea
- what they mean;
- how I can adjust them;
- if I can add any.
Can you help?
Where do I find out more about Named Destinations in a pdf?
Thanks in advance for your help,

How do I put a SolidWorks assembly (.SLDASM) into Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

I recently watched a video on Adobe TV called "Adding Interactive 3D Models in Technical Documentation." In the video, a SolidWorks Assembly file (.SLDASM) was dragged into Acrobat 9 Pro Extended to create a 3D Pdf. I have tried to do this in Acrobat XI Pro, but I keep getting an error message that the file is either of a non-supported file type or is damaged. Is there any way to get around this problem?

Hi Starr Oil Tools,
3D conversion capability in Acrobat XI is handled by an Adobe partner named Tetra 4D. They provide Acrobat/Reader plug-ins with 3D capability.
Please see http://www.tetra4d.com/
I'm not certain of whether the specific conversion you want is available, but that is the place to look.

Charlene

Pdfmark code in MS Word 2008 doc doesn't seem to work properly to create Named Destination

Hi all,
I've been having trouble with creating Preview-compatible Named Destinations in Acrobat 9.x (see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/770470?tstart=0). Distiller, on the other hand, appears to create compatible Destinations, so as a last-ditch effort, I tried to go back to my original source file (Microsoft Word 2008 document) to use Distiller's pdfmark functionality, to see if maybe I could finally get a PDF with Preview-compatible Destinations.
Following instructions found elsewhere on this forum, I went into Word and inserted the following field into a test location in my document:
PRINT "[ /Dest /testdest /View [ /XYZ null null null ] /DEST pdfmark"
This field code is supposed to then cause a pdfmark to be inserted into the resulting PostScript and/or PDF files. Distiller is supposed to understand this and turn it into a Named Destination called "testdest." However, it doesn't seem to work - I don't see the pdfmark code in the PS file, and the PDF file doesn't have any Named Destinations in it.
I'm using Acrobat 9.x on Mac OS X 10.6.5, so I tried this two different ways:
1) Using the "Print to Adobe PDF" workflow (which replaced the "Adobe PDF Printer" from previous OS/Acrobat versions) - this automatically generates a PDF via (presumably) an API call to Distiller... and
2) Using the "Print to Postscript" workflow to generate a PS file, which I then ran through Adobe Distiller.
In neither case did I end up with a named destination in the PDF file, as I was supposed to. In case #2, even the Postscript file didn't have a pdfmark embedded in it. Thus, I'm assuming that perhaps this is particular issue may be a problem with MS Word 2008 rather than with Acrobat... but I'm hoping someone might have a clue as to how to fix it.
I welcome ideas on how to get Word 2008 to properly output pdfmark code, so that Distiller will pick it up and properly embed a Named Destination into the PDF...
Thanks in advance.
(If anyone has ideas about the Preview-compatible problem, linked above, that would also be great!)

You're suggesting that it was never fixed from Word 2004 to 2008? Possibly. I wonder if it's fixed in Word 2011? Anyone know? But is it really a Word problem, rather than a Distiller issue?
I appreciate your offer, though I do have access to Word on Windows (2003, I think), so I could try Distilling there... I only worry about formatting, since there are minor differences (e.g. font kerning, etc.) between Mac and Windows that are subtle, but sufficient to create formatting issues for very long documents (e.g. pushing figures onto the wrong pages, etc.). That would be a rather big problem.
The question remains whether this is an issue with Word or Distiller, though... and whether it's fixed in Distiller X and/or Word 2011.
Adobe, care to comment?
I'd really love to find a proper Mac solution, if one exists... it would be rather a slap to Mac users if a solution doesn't exist.
