Linking to a "Destination" in a PDF file

Post by JohnSKennedy »

Is there a way to link to a named destination in a PDF file? My PDF file is almost 400 pp. long, and I want to crate hyperlinks between "concepts" on my CMap to a named destination in the PDF file.

Any suggestions?

@JohnSKennedy:

There is not a unique solution, because it depends of the internet browser (i.e. Safari, Firefox, IE), web server, and the operating system.

First of all, you need to upload the pdf file to a webserver, so the PDF will be accessible via a web browser (http://server/file.pdf).

Then, in CmapTools, add the pdf file as a "web page resource" and use the bookmarks on the pdf as part of the URL.

Examples:
http://server/file.pdf#page=3
http://server/file.pdf#bookmark
