The newlink hypertext marker will be needed to specify PDF named
destinations; using marker management utilities or scripting, it should be
relatively easy to change your FieldNames markers into hypertext markers.

But there is another issue you have to be aware of. FrameMaker adds a 
variable prefix to the PDF name destination it defines. See more on this at
