Hi Matthias,
thank you for your answer; we'll have a closer look into that.
Building documents with InDesign you can use internal names to reference
a page.
And Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat Reader can deal with that. You even can
show a table with the cross reference.
I'm also not an expert in that matter, but cold imagine this helps to
more flexibly and comfortably move named paragraphs around, without the
need to update page numbers manually.
So far we used the internal link to direct page numbers, e.g. for the ToC.
But the internal names could be an interesting additional option.
Thank you for your guidance and additional hints. We'll dig a bit deeper
into that. And if we find out anything helpful we'll share
Regards
Hans

I am looking for a way to handle internal names (targets, text anchors?)
with swf files. Like links to a page or URL, but to named tags in this case.
This thread might indicate a way to extract the needed information (xref
info: names<-> page number) out of any status reports.
So here my questions for the experts (before I follow dead end links):
- is using -vvv and parsing the resulting messages a feasible approach for
what I need? WIll that information be output? Or is swfdump a better way?
It will be printed out. It should also give you more information about
whether a link
is named than swfdump would:
VERBOSE storing "Named" link to "end"
- I saw in lib\devices\swf.c a function called
swfoutput_namedlink(gfxdevice_t*dev, char*name, gfxline_t*points)
Right after the functions linktopage and linktourl. My hope is, this
function already does support something helpful for my needs.
That function actually only exists for historical reasons, and will
only be executed if
you insert a link into a PDF that starts with "http://pdf2swf";. It can
be used to set
a root level variable "subtitle" via ActionScript, when the mouse is
hovering over them.
On the other hand, the code you're presumably looking for is in
CharOutputDev.cc, around line 1050:
case actionNamed: {
type = "Named";
What are you using named links for, btw.? I haven't dealt with them
for almost a decade.
