FM 8, Inter-document references, and the iPad

Re cross-linking documents at the heading level in PDFs, try the AutoBookmark plug-in available for Acrobat.

Subject: FM 8, Inter-document references, and the iPad

Related to my Manual > Task Sheet > Checklist project (you though the single-sourcing challenge was tricky!):

I have the Checklist linking to various external publications that it calls (in the previous email, I simplified it to one doc, but it's really linking out to about ten different docs).

On Windows 7, FM8, in Acrobat X — I build all the books in the same folder, and the links work just like they have for 15 years for me:
Click a "(How?" xref to go to the actual manual with full information; click a "(Back)" xref to return (I am using manual back links for testing, not having Fred's plug-in).

On Windows XP, FM8, in Acrobat 7 — The links produce an error about "file referencing" (it's on another person's machine, and I can't ask ATM). Not too surprising: I'm on a 64-bit system. Somewhat surprising:
we both tried it from the SAME files on the SAME network share.

When imported into PDF Expert on iPad: The links ONLY go to the top of the PDF document, NOT to the actual Task or Step at which their markers are set.

Ultimately, these deliverables will be in PDF on iPads, being filled out as forms, saved, and attached to cases in a CRM.

SO: has anyone got any thoughts about cross-linking documents at the heading level in PDFs for delivery to the iPad?

David
