In the HTML link, append '#name' to the pdf file name, #name being the 
named destination in the pdf, for example:
http://www.microtype.com/showcase/ConvertFMnewlink.pdf#Inspiration


At the PDF stage, the named destinations can be defined in Acrobat; 
however, all named destinations will have to be re-defined every time the 
PDF is created.

It is better to define the named destinations in FrameMaker using the 
newlink hypertext marker.
However, a variable prefix of "Mnn.8.newlink." is added to the named 
destination
(see http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF.html#ConsistentNamedDests for more 
information).
