In pre-Acrobat 7.0 versions, you could bookmark to a page in another document. I package multiple educational solutions on one CD and need to find a way to move students from every page in one pdf to a specific page in another pdf. This kind of bookmark created in previous versions transfers into 7.0 and shows up in the Bookmark Properties as Add an Action: Select Action: Open a File and Actions: Go to a page in this document. This second action is not available for new bookmarks created in 7.0. Help!

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.0, Windows

Consider using the app.openDoc JavaScript method. You can use it to open a different PDF. It can be opened to a named destination, or if the target document has its "disclosed" property set, a particular page number and zoom. The Acrobat JavaScript reference has more information.

One advantage to this approach is you can use JavaScript to automate the process of bookmark creation since the bookmark action is a JavaScript action.
