assuming Reader has the problem, too
Clicking on a link Annotation with an internal Named Destination target fails to navivate if the string encodings of the "Dest" in the "Annots" array element does not match the encoding of the string "key" in the "Names" array in the document catalog. Chrome and Edge do not have this problem. Acrobat behavior does not conform to the PDF Reference. The strings are semantically equivilent. The Names array keys are PDF 1.2 strings, not PDF 1.1 names.
See attached screen shots for details of Names and Annots array.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open The Attached .pdf
- Page 1 contains 3 links, click on each
- The link under "Unicode Text" works correctly.
- The links under "To Page 2" and "To Page 3" do not.
This has a large impact on some of our customers, they have thousands of documents with this kind of link.
