Direct reference to named destinations in PDF file

Continued Discussion

Thank you for the feed back on this previous discussion (aandi )

Refering to pages within PDF using the example given:

http://www.quite.com/books/apu14.pdf#page=10

This example works very effectively.

Unfortunately, I downloaded this file to my hard drive, and attempted to use a similar reference from with a HTML file to open the PDF file from the hard drive at page 10. For example:

L:\apu14.pdf#page=10

This method of referencing does not work with local file referencing, and the Windows 95 OS (with Acrobat Reader 5 and MS Explorer 5) seems to confuse the file name, falsely believing that #page=10 is part of the file name.

Please can forum users recomend a solution to this problem. Referencing local PDF files using named destinations, from within an HTML file, for example, is very useful when creating interactive CD (all files are on the CD). I'm also trying to aviod using Acrobat and Distiller directly, and resolve the issue by simply using the correct local HTML referencing.

Many thanks
