RE: Create bookmark to Acrobat search function with FO, possible?

Haven't found anything useful. The nearest I've come is PDF Open Parameters. There is a search parameter (used as such #search="word1 word2") that is supposed to open the Search UI. I've tried as an external and internal link but to no success, never opened the Search UI. Tried with words and without all to no avail.

Well I'm off to AH to see if I can get this as an extension. Would also be nice to see something like this added to the spec (ability to open search ui (or any other acrobat reader ui) and use a catalog file if available).

Thanks Ken,

The issue now is finding that URI. I tried a search a few months ago and found nothing. Okay not really nothing but a whole lot of how to do it via Acrobat and not FO. I'll try the search again today and post any results.

Any external or internal link can be put in the bookmarks.  It was a
surprise to me when I learned that external links were allowed.  If
you can express what you want as a URI, then you will succeed.  But I
believe that if you cannot express what you want as a URI, then you
will have to rely on a vendor extension from whichever product you are using.

I hope this helps.
