Named Destinations & Reading options- Binding

When I open a pdf file using Pdf reader and go to file properties -> advanced tab.
In reading options section, there is a setting named "Binding" and it's default value is "Left edge".
I don't know which value in the pdf file should be mapped to this option.
I guess it is Catalog -> Dests dictionary.
But there is no default value for this dictionary.
Can somebody tell me where I can find the info about this setting in PDF32000_2008.pdf ?
Thanks.

    Might be better to post this in the Acrobat or Indesign forums.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can you have a running adobe reader navigate to named destination

    I open a reader file using adobe reader via command line and use the nameddest parameter to have it navigate to the section within the document which works fine however is there a way once its running to have it navigate to another named destination?
    Thanks!

    Not if the file is already open.

  • Can Adobe Reader users view named destinations?

    I created named destinations in my PDF documents using Adobe Acrobat.

    There is no Destinations pane in Reader that the user can display, but links to named destinations will work in Reader.

  • How to generate "named destinations" in PDF

    When generating a PDF, how can I get "named destinations" in
    my PDF so I can created hyptertext links to it?
    1. question:
    I produce several PDFs files, which have links to chapters in
    the other PDF. To directly jump to such a chapter, one can use
    named destinations in the PDF. How can I tell RoboHelp to produce
    them?
    2. question:
    If there is an answer to q1, is that also possible in this
    way: I need to generate a Word document first, because I need to do
    some manual adjustments. Then I generate a PDF from this Word
    document. Going this way, I finally also want to have named
    destinations in the PDF. Is that possible?
    Any help appreciated a lot, thank you.

    Hi,
    You can insert dynamic barcodes into your form using LC Designer. 
    You should do a search here as dynamic barcodes has been covered by by Steve Walker in detail. For example:
    BARCODE 128 - possibility of binding 2 data fields to the barcode
    Paperforms barcodes
    Using Barcode in Acroforms
    However one thing to bear in mind is that dynamic barcodes will not work in Reader unless the form has been Reader enabled using LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product. Option 4 in this summary:
    Good luck,

  • Named Destinations not Working in PDF

    We have book files that contain several chapters and a glossary. We created numerous named destinations (specify named destination/jump to named destination) throughout the FM files. If we check the links in the FM files, they work fine (i.e. the linked word jumps to the correct spot). However once we PDF, it loses some (not all) of those links. Anyone have any suggestions for figuring out why or fixing the issue? To PDF, we print a PS file then distill it. We are using FM 10. There appears to be no rhyme or reason for which words work and which words don't. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    FM will always have at least two versions of the maker.ini on your system. The first version is in the default FM installation folder. The other is each of the Users areas. The one(s) in the Users area contain your specific settings to the FM environment. So it looks like your display settings are set properly in FM.
    It really helps seeing the FM & PDF versions.
    What specific version of the Palatino TTF font are you using (mine is the 5.00 as shown in the previous reply)?
    In your FM paragraph designer, you seem to be using a Justified setting. What are your settings that you have in the Advanced properties of the paragraph designer for tthe Word Spacing options? I've tried duplicating your example (using a wid range of settings), but I don't seem to have any spill over issues:
    In your example, it looks like only the word-spacings are messing up. The individual word lengths look to be correct when compared ot the FM file. Did you use any special spaces (i.e. non-breaking, numeric, etc.) between any of the words. (Turn on your View > Text Symbols in FM)? Are you using any special character tag, the default Emphasis tag or did you manually apply Italic (or footnote superscipt formatting) in the paragraphs that shoot over the margins?
    What PDF joboptions did you use for creating the PDF?
    Are you using the AdobePDF printer instance for creating the PDFs?
    In Acrobat, have you checked to see if you actually have the Palatino Linotype being used in the PDF document? (Use either the File > Properties... and then look at the Font tab or use the Edit Object tool, click on the wonky text area and the right-click to get the Proprties context menu and look at the Text tab).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • FrameMaker produces named destinations with random names

    Hi all,
    when I save a FM-document as PDF, the named destinations do not resemble the element IDs. Rather, the names of the destinations seem to be random numericals. This makes it impossible to link to the PDF from external HTML-documents without manually adjusting the links after each PDF-production.
    Is there a way to control the names of the desitnations through output options etc.? This is a production from DITA/XML using Framemaker 7.2 and the DITA OT. Therefore we cannot just add markers in the Framemaker documents because these are generated new during each production run.

    Robert,
    Unless you modify your procedure to insert markers, you're going to be out of luck. The only way to get FM to insert a destination that you can explicitly name and find is to use the newlink marker. You also need to be aware that FM will prepend some code characters to this as well depending upon whether the PDF is generated from a book or a standalone file.
    Shlomo Perets' Timesavers tool gives you more control over inserting the named destinations. See http://www.microtype.com

    I am able to take name tree object from pdf document.
    But, I want to display each named destination.

    Thanks for your response.
    I am able to get named destination for Links and Bookmarks using PdViewDest.
    But my requirement is, I will create named destinations for all the pages manually.
    When I open particular file, I want to get each named destination name and page number for that document, not for bookmarks or links.
    I am taking CosDoc for that active document.
    CosDoc cosDoc = PDDocGetCosDoc(pdDoc);
    CosObj cosObj = CosDocGetRoot (cosDoc);
    CosObj cosdest = CosDictGet(cosObj, ASAtomFromString("Names"));
    After this how you want me to proceed. Please help me to solve this issue.
