List of named destinations

I'd like to ask if there is any method how to retrieve list of all named destinations in the whole document. It would be helpful for my purpose.

Thanks for your response. By quick research I've found that plug-in requires quite expensive IKLA to be available in Reader so this is no way for my quite simple task used by single person. Maybe internal destination in form of growing number with some prefix will help. In this case I will be able to ensure previous/next functionality I think.

  • To create link for the selected named destination..

    Hello,
    I am getting list of Named Destinations(Title of the named destinations) using cos object values.
    I will be storing those titles in combobox. I want to create link for the selected named destination.
    I tried to set destination for the link using cos object value of the selected name destination.
    cosPageValue is cos object value of named destination.
    CosObj cosArrayDest = CosNewArray( cosDoc, true, 2 );
    CosArrayPut( cosArrayDest, 0, cosPageValue );
    But it has given me an Unhandled Exception.
    I am not able to get destination page number for the named destination.
    Please suggest me how do I can create link for the selected named destination?
    Thank you,

    I seem to recall (don't have the docs handy) that there is a higher level
    PDDest object and a PDAction object - you might want to look at using those
    higher level objects (created via PDXXXFromCosObj) if you are having trouble
    working with Cos.

  • 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,

  • 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

  • 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.

  • How do I link to a named destination from a c# application in this version of Reader?

    Just like the title says. I can link to named destinations in adobe reader desktop version with no problem, but that same syntax does not work in the touch version that comes from the windows store. I have found no documentation on the touch version. Please help.

    I doubt the Touch version offers an API, especially to non-Metro apps.

  • 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.

  • How can I jump to a named destination?

    I have separate Framemaker files for sections for which I specified a named destination at title. These sections are imported by reference into chapters of a number of books. Within the book I want to jump for example from chapter 2 to a section in chapter 3. Normally I would use a cross reference, but that does not work with an imported file. I tried to do this with a named destination, but it seems that Framemaker cannot jump from one chapter to another using a named destination. Does anyone know how I can jump from one chapter to imported file in another chapter?

    It was helpfull but it does not solve my problem. The gotolink

    it work when I open the file Section1, but it does not work in the

    section 2 is imported in chapter 2.
    When I setup the command for the book gotolink 
    chapter2.fm:destination1 it works in book 1, but not in book 2, 
    because it has a different filename for chapter 2 or the section 
    with the named destination might be in another chapter.
    Okay, I should have looked at the PPT. But I understand that you are 
    working with "text insets".
    When you import some text into another document "by reference" the 
    text is nevertheless completely copied into the (I call it) container 
    document — other wise FrameMaker would have a hard time getting the 
    formatting and numbering right.
    But, the target file name has changed and I know of no way to have 
    that fixed automatically by FrameMaker.
    In a similar setup I created a FrameScript script program, which 
    checked all cross-references and changed the target file name to that 
    of the container file.

  • 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

  • Named destination not working in Firefox 3.6.3, other browsers are ok

    I've added several named destinations to a PDF.  Links to the named destinations within the PDF are working correctly in IE8, Safari and Chrome, but not Firefox 3.6.3.  (PC/Windows 7)
    With Firefox all the links to named destinations take you to the first page of the PDF instead of to the named destination within the PDF. I've tried changing the format of the links (a href="http://www.anysite.com/mypdf.pdf#location1") instead of (a href="http://www.anysite.com/mypdf.pdf#nameddest=location1").  No success with Firefox.  Other browsers are fine.
    I'd be interested if anyone else has had a similar issue and whether there are any successful workarounds/solutions.
    Thanks a bunch.

    The PDF contaning the named destinations was created with Acrobat 9.3.2 Professional.
    Since the links to the named destinations are working fine with IE, Chrome and Safari, I'd tend to think this is a Firefox issue, but welcome other ideas.

  • Named destinations within a file on a network

    Is it possible for a PDF document to reference a specific destination page within another PDF file stored on a network? I'm familiar with the mechanism to do this in an html reference to a server file (#page=7 or #nameddest=), but it doesn't seem to function within a network.
    Thanks in advance,
    Cliff Ober

    Cliff,
    I would say no. Adobe's "Parameters for Opening PDF Files" says "You can open a PDF document with a command or URL that specifies exactly what to display (a named destination or specific page)..."
    The key here is it is via command or a URL. PDF-to-PDF links in a network setting don't fit into either picture.

  • CFDocument and PDF Named Destinations

    In essence I am building a single merged document (PDF)
    combining a single HTML document and n number of names from a SQL
    database. My plan is to use CFDocument to create a complete page
    set for each individual in the database and tack it on to the end
    of the PDF.
    As I process each individual I would like to insert a Named
    Destination in the PDF for that person at the beginning of their
    Page Set. Does anyone know how this can be done? Your help is
    greatly appreciated.
    Would it be better to use CFReport for this merge process?
    Can you add a Named Destination in CFReport generated PDF?

    Functionally, it appears that processing the allowed PDF parameters after opening a PDF involves (1) open the PDF then (2) process the parameter or parameters.
    Once the target PDF is "open" a second pass that attempts to process a parameter or parameters, on the now open PDF seem to not "take".
    So, typically, after open-process parameter(s) happens the PDF has to be backed out of. Then the same PDF can be "opened" again followed by processing of the parameter(s).
    If not already in hand, here's the reference document.

  • Having trouble getting named destinations to work

    I have been trying to add named destinations to a PDF so that I can navigate a viewer to a particular place in a document via a URL such as http://mysite.com/mypdf.pdf#nameddest=blah.
    This is not working at all. The URL simply brings them to the beginning of the document. The named destinations feature of Acrobat is really not very complicated. My named destination is clearly there in the document. What could be preventing this from working?
    Thanks

    The embed code looks right. It must be something wrong with your JS/CSS on the page. Almost seems like you have something transparent on top of the form or something. I'm not a JS/CSS/HTML expert so I can't help anymore than that...

  • Linking to Named Destinations

    Hi All
    I have been trying to link from a web page to a "named destination" inside a .pdf document, using a URL like: www.webPageName/docName.pdf#namedDestination
    The problem that I am having is that the link works the first time it is followed, but if the user scrolls to another page in the .pdf file, then follows the link again, the latest view is remembered rather than going to the named destination.
    Has anyone had any experience with this or any ideas how to get to the named destination each time?
    Thanks in advance
    Geof

    Hi,Geof.
    See http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc5423d/32, "Linking to within a PDF using named destinations." Many issues and tips are discussed in that thread.
    To your particular question, you do not say which vers. of Acrobat you have. As you will find when you check the above link, named destinations do not work in Acrobat 7. So, if you have that vers., you will need to upgrade. Another simple tip that is also mentioned in the other thread is that you need to make sure that your Web Browser option is set to display the PDF in the browser.
    Hope the thread above answers your questions. --GMc
