Question

Cross References - setting page view

I'm working on a 900 page book with 150 figures that I need to cross reference. Example 'see Figure 12 page 333'.

I'm doing the following;

  1. New Hyperlink Destination
  2. Naming it by the figure number (so it's easy to cross reference)
  3. Go to the page, insert cross reference, select Link to: Text Anchor
  4. Then select the text anchor I've created

 

The issue I'm having is once I've created the PDF and click on 'see Figure 12 page 333' I only see the figure tile as shown below (top left corner).

 

 

Can you set the view to fit page, like you would when you link to a page. The reason I went with Text Anchors is I could name them with the figure numbers which made it easy to find when setting the desination and if the figures moved pages I didn't have to redo them.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Below is what I would like to see...

Any Adobe Experts out there can help with this, I've got about 500 cross-references to add and my deadline is tomorrow ; )
