Misaligned hypertext selection areas in Frame 15 to PDF XI conversion

I often use Hypertext Specify Named Destination and Jump to Named Destination markers when I want to truncate the destination text rather than use a Cross-Reference marker that includes the full paragraph text as the link value for the source. I include the marker immediately before the source text, which I make blue to highlight it as a cross-reference. Upon PDF conversion (.ps and then click to make .pdf) in about half the instances the link area is misaligned with the text. I need to use the PDF XI Add or Edit Link function to realign the selection box to enclose the text. What should I do to avoid having to do this? Screenshots attached: (1) source  marker, (2) destination marker, (3) resulting PDF of source. The bonding-group link is actually a conventional Cross-Reference, which is OK..

    The hypertext marker needs to be inside the character tag (aka blue text) to make that the hotspot. When it's on the edge like yours is very hard to determine the marker is just inside or just outside the character tag. Move the marker inside the character tag and try again.

      Ha! I'm sitting at a computer, waiting for my students to arrive so that I can start teaching a Photoshop class. Answering questions here is way more relaxing than reading the newspaper these days!
