Jumping JehosaPDFs to named FM destinations

[Hedley Finger <hedley.finger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Framers and Acrobats:

I created a test document in FrameMaker with a hypertext marker
containing "newlink TestDest" to create a named destination.  Next I
distilled the file and created a TestNamedDest.pdf document.

Folklore says that the file can be opened at the page containing the
TestDest named destination from an Acrobat-enabled browser with the URL

    file:///C:/myfiles/TestNamedDest.pdf#TestDest

or

    file:///C|/myfiles/TestNamedDest.pdf#TestDest

The correct document opens but not at the location of the named
destination TestDest.  The Using Adobe FrameMaker manual (v. 5.0) says
that FM hypertext commands are converted to the corresponding PDF links
but doesn't give any details for each command.  Thomas Merz's book
PostScript & Acrobat/PDF (first edition, August 1996) doesn't have
anything useful.  The pdfmark Reference Manual shows how to name
destinations with the pdfmark operator but I want to avoid this method
in favour of FM only solutions in the source files.

Can any Frame and Acrobat experts help?
