Hello, I have a question.
In my PDF file I have a lot of links, and all of these links refers to the correct page.
I opened my PDF document in the Adobe Acrobat Professional (I'm using version 6.0.6), in main menu I checked Tools -> Advanced Editing -> Link Tool. Then right clicked my link, selected "Properties…". On the tab "Actions" I coud saw an action: "Go to a page in this document - Page 21". So, link refers to the correct page. But Adobe Acrobat Professional go to the page 22.
If I use Foxit PDF reader, I have correct redirect to page 21. With all other documents my Adobe Acrobat work fine, but in this document it go to the wrong page. Have somebody ever seen such behaviour? What the possible reasons of this? Why a have the correct link, and Adobe Acrobat (in contrast to Foxit PDF reader) go to wrong page? I think, it's happens because of error in PDF document, not of error in Acrobat. But I can see link is correct, and other PDF reader work's fine. Please, help me. May be link must have a special format?

P.S.
One other weird thing about this issue is that the links go to the proper location when viewing the published output in single-page mode works, but not in continuous mode.

Acrobat Pro 6.0.6, Windows

either delete the corrupt link and re-link, or make the link go to another page, save, close, reopen, make it go to the right page, then save - sometimes it is helpful to save as a NEW file name, this tosses old crap (and makes the file small again)

Thanks a lot for your answer. Actions you wrote, resolves the issue. I re-link, saved, closed, reopened, and my link became correct. Unfortunately, trick with Save as does not helped. I have a lot of such "dirty" links. Please, can anyone tell, about the possible causes, in pdf link format, which bring Acrobat Reader go to the incorrect page via correct link. Or may be anyone hit the same problem, and can tell, when this problem happens.
Your reply will be very much appreciated.
