I have the following code

BMR.createChild currentCollege & " " & pageNum, "this.pageNum =1"

It successfully creates a bookmark within my PDF, but the action doesn't work. It will not jump to the correct page. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I actually ended up fixing the issue. It was generating the bookmarks successfully but the action I was assigning to each individual bookmark was non existent. Turns out the PDF generated out of Microsoft Access was in PDF/A format which I believe was the issue with the actions. Thanks!

Does the Acrobat UI show the action as expected in the bookmark editor? Or a different action? Or no action? Or something else?
