Dear all,

I want to open a PDF at a specified named destination (because the location is not on 
a fixed page). However the PDF does not open where expected, but on page 1.

Acrobat is 7.0.9
FrameMaker 8.0.2

In FrameMaker at the desired location I enter a Hypertext command
	newlink editpad

The Windows command to open the file is
	Acrobat.exe /a nameddest=editpad D:\_INFOBASE\infobase.pdf
(I got this information from 
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf)


The reason, why the file is not opened at the desired location is this:
The named destination in the PDF is not
	editpad
but
	M8.8.newlink.editpad

Hence the file opens correctly with this command:
	Acrobat.exe /a nameddest=M8.8.newlink.editpad D:\_INFOBASE\infobase.pdf

IMHO the M8.8. may be different at the next PDF generation, hence I can not just adapt 
the comand to open the file.

What must i do that FrameMaker creates a named destination without that automatic 
prefix? 

Thank You for any ideas.http://mymemo.ch und nie mehr einen Gedanken oder Termin 
verpassen.
