Try the Search functionality included with the full version (still free)of Adobe Reader 6.0. Crtl + F and then specify terms using advanced or basic search critera. It generates a list of links that take you to the page the terms are found. I think this would definitely be helpful for the manuals where the page numbers do not match. It might also be helpful with the newer manuals since the index may not include all instances of a topic. -----Original Message----- From: Vern Hamberg [mailto:vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 8:39 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: Navigating in PDF manuals In most of the newer manuals, if you put your cursor over a page number in the index, it changes to an index-finger pointer. If you click, it takes you directly to that page - you don't need to enter a page number. Making the page numbers match might be possible, because there is some kind of page numbering function in Acrobat. I just tried a little on the Work Management document but had not much luck. It may be non-trivial. I usually do as others have suggested - determine where the Roman numeral pages end (front material), then subtract that. When the pagination is chapter-page, as in older manuals, it's really tough. It comes down to an educated-guess binary search for me, usually, using the scroll button.
