Autogenerated paragraph named destinations in PDF Does anyone know the exact format of the autogenerated paragraph named destinations in the PDF output that FrameMaker produces? I'd like to be able to link to these from an HTML file using nameddest=, but the information isn't given anywhere in Adobe's documentation, as far as I can see.
Thanks,
Ken.

Re: Autogenerated paragraph named destinations in PDF I believe I have found out - and I should have thought of this earlier! I opened a file that had named destinations in Acrobat 7.0 Professional, displayed the named destinations (View > Navigation Tabs > Destinations), and voila! there they were.
For the record, in case anyone else is interested:
If you select "Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs" in the PDF Setup dialog box, you get destinations for all paragraphs. The formats for named destinations are as follows:
Paragraph format: Gn.pgfID
Marker format: Mn.8.text
Page format: P.page#
There's also a destination starting with "I" that I didn't figure out.
In the above formats, n is the index of the file in the FM book, starting at 1; pgfID is the numeric paragraph ID (which I believe is stable, but I might be wrong), and text is the marker text with periods removed and blanks replaced by periods. The markers I saw in my file included hypertext markers and cross-reference markers. You don't really need the page number because there's already syntax for opening a PDF at a given page. Examples:
G4.101179
M5.8.newlink.top
M6.8.101179.Table.12.Keyboard.Shortcuts
M4.8.537986.Heading1.24.The.Project.Table
P.101
Hope this helps someone other than me!
