Re: RoboHelp linked to a PDF bookmark

Hi Kim

I really hope I'm proven wrong here. But I think linking to PDFs is
simple. But linking to PDFs at a bookmark is nearly impossible. I recall
attempting to do this a few years ago and the process was totally
dependent on whether the PDF was coded to accept this manner of linking
as well as needing to be placed on a specific type of server. Who knows,
maybe there have been advances with this stuff in the last few years.

At any rate, it probably won't be an issue that you might resolve using
RoboHelp. More likely, it will lie in the application used to create the
PDF.

Cheers... Rick :)
