linking to specific sections of the pdf

[Nick-Metcalfe]

When i generate my output, i have the pdfs generated and links created for them to be accessed.

I would like to have some sort of tag in the pdfs so that I can link to a specific section from a URL I have looked into doing this with named destinations but cant see whether it will work or not.

Some guidance would be useful please

Hi Nick,

You can use anchors/named destinations in a PDF to link to specific locations.

Code: Select all

<a name="target"></a>

inserted anywhere in the document can be linked to by using

Code: Select all

<a href="#target">click here</a>

You can use Insert > Hyperlink and Link to "Place in this Document" to easily insert these named destinations.

So if i wanted to then craft a URL for someone to click on external to the document to then be taken to that tag what would the URL look like?

Ah sorry, I misunderstood, but this might still be possible by appending #mysection to your URL where mysection is the bookmark name.
