XPP Version 9.2.2.0 - Open PDF using PDF Xymacros

Question

XPP Version 9.2.2.0

I am trying to open another PDF and go to a specific page using PDF macros DEST and 2DEST. I looked through the documentation and it did state that another document can be opened using 2DEST.

Below is the coding that I am using

In the PDF where coding is added using DEST, I am using the following PDF xymacros:

<:pdfs;DEST;destination-information>destination information<:pdfe;DEST>

In the PDF where coding is added using 2DEST, I am using the following PDF xymacros:

<:pdfs;2DEST;destination-information;/File (pdfname.pdf)>Text text text<:pdfe;2DEST>

I have also done the following in the PDF Support Spec:

Action GoToR

(GoToR) Destination pdfname.pdf

I have also tried the following in the PDF Support Spec:

Action Launch

(Launch) Document or App pdfname.pdf

I create my 2 .ps files and I am getting the following error when I try to distill the files:

%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: pdfname.pdf. ]%%

Stack:

/GotoR

/Action

/UseOutlines

/PageMode

-mark-

Any help is much appreciated.

All I can say that it should work with the 2DEST and DEST combination.
I just created a small test and it does work without problems.
Screenshot of Trados Studio with a Security Warning dialog box, indicating 'This document is trying to access: C:Tempfile2.pdf' with options to Allow or Block.

I think the first thing for you to verify is if you see a little box around the 2DEST text.
By default there will be a border around the text sitting between the start and end of 2DEST macro's.

If you do not get a box, you might start to look at how you entered the :pdfs and :pdfe macro's.
Because if you do not see a box, that means that the macro's are not recognized by XPP
