Subject:Linking to pdf bookmarks From:Larissa Neumann <neumannl -at- DSCLTD -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 14 Jul 1998 15:39:30 -0400
Hi all!
My company is producing some software. In addition to the help files for
the software, they want users to be able to jump directly from the
software to a bookmark in a pdf file. (So that the user can jump
directly to the relevant section of one of many manuals configured as
pdf files.)
Does anybody know:
* is it at all possible to link from an outside application (e.g.
another software application using DLLs or active x controls) to a
bookmark in a pdf file?
* how would one do this?
