I have a .PDF document which contains several chapter
bookmarks. I would like to be able to create an HTML page
and hyperlink these bookmarks. Does anyone know a way to
do this?

Thanks

Mike,

Not to say that it can't be done, but I don't _think_ it can be done.

I used to work for a software company that was distributing PDFs as part of
their product. They wanted to link from within the application to specific
sections in a PDF, pretty much the same thing as you're trying to do with
HTML. They ended up having to talk to a third-party developer who wanted a
ridiculous amount of cash to develop an intermediary tool to accomplish
this.

Because of the cost, they ended up splitting the main documents into smaller
files and linking to each file. If you chose to do something like this, you
could also provide the full document for separate download. Not the most
elegant solution, for sure, but it was the most expedient.

If you do find a way to do this, please post back here. I'm sure there are
a LOT of other folks who could make use of this.

Good luck!
