Subject:RE: Link from PDF to bookmark in Word 7 document From:"Jessica Weissman" <Jessica -dot- Weissman -at- hillcrestlabs -dot- com> To:"John Posada" <jposada99 -at- gmail -dot- com>, "TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Tue, 9 Mar 2010 17:12:55 -0500
It looks as though Acrobat 7 doesn't honor Word bookmark notation even
in file style URLs.
I tried it in Acrobat 7 as a link to a URL. They let you type the URL
rather than selecting it, which obviates the existence check problem
John had.
I typed a file URL that referred to file on my hard drive, and then
appended a bookmark reference. Clicking the link opened the right file
(after asking permission to do so and after asking me what program to
use to open the file with). However, it did not go to the bookmark,
just to the start of the file.
So John may have identified a problem with Acrobat 7. I don't have a
later version of Acrobat to verify with, just Reader.
