Hi!

I'm trying to find out how I can jump to a specific bookmark with javascript. I want to do this so users can type in a identifier and jump directly to that associated bookmark...

It's probably something easy but I just cannot find it! It's frustrating!

Thanks in advance!

Once you know which Bookmark you want to go to, use its execute() method.

Do you have an example about how this works? What javascript code do I need to insert if I want to jump to a bookmark with the name PDL002?

Look in the reference file under Bookmark Object - Methods - execute.
There's a sample script there that does exactly that.

Where can I find the reference file? I have the Adobe JS Guide (no sample there), and the Javascript Developer Guide but I still cannot find it... :(

This is the reference for version 7.0.5:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/AcroJS.pdf
It's a bit old, but for your purposes you don't need the newer ones, and also the differences are minor.
The example I mentioned is on pages 167-168.
