fox:destination needs to be ported from the maintenance branch to the Trunk. Glen suggested there might be an equivalent in the XSL 1.1 WD, so it might be good scanning the spec for such a feature.
[Me on fop-users: ] On our extensions page, there is a warning about possibly all FOs with an id property generating named-destinations 'in some future version'. I guess that would indeed make the most sense, together with a port of fox:destination to the trunk, but *as an extension* to deal with the PDF-renderer specific parameters (like zoom settings, open-in-new-window etc.) ---- Just some further clarifications on the above: In essence, what is called an 'explicit destination' in PDF consists of a 'page' component and the page co-ordinates to jump to, optionally also zoom/magnification settings to use. The reference to the page and the co-ordinates can easily be derived from the area corresponding to a FO in the document. Maybe all that needs to be done here is change the PDFRenderers treatment of the existing 'internal destinations' (?) If the internal-destination in the document doesn't need to be reachable from a location external to the resulting PDF, PDF's explicit-destinations and link-annotations would suffice. That isn't always the case, hence iiuc the idea of changing the default behavior for *all* FOs with an id property, and that is where 'named destinations' step in: define a dictionary of all possible destinations in the document, so that they are per se always reachable from outside of the PDF. fox:destination could be used to allow renderer-specific configuration of the named destination, like zoom settings for the PDF-viewer app (maybe even usable by the AWTRenderer as well?).
Created attachment 17196 [details] sorry, wrong bug
Can this be closed? As I remember, Jay implemented support for PDF destinations a while ago...
Nope, the documentation has not been updated, yet. :-(
fox:destination has again been documented and can be used. http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/extensions.html#named-destinations
