Working with destinations
A destination is a link represented by text in the Destinations palette. Destinations set
navigation paths across a collection of PDF documents. Linking to a destination is recom-
mended when linking across documents because, unlike a link to a page, a link to a desti-
nation is not affected by the addition or deletion of pages within the target document.
To display and sort the destinations list:

Choose Window > Destinations, and do one of the following:
•
Choose Scan Document from the Destinations palette menu.
•
Select the scan document icon
at the top of the palette.
2
To sort the destinations, do one of the following:
•
Click the Name bar at the top of the Destinations palette to sort the destination names
alphabetically.
•
Click the Page bar at the top of the Destinations palette to sort the destinations by page
number.
To go to, delete, reset, or rename a destination:
1
Choose Window > Destinations, and do one of the following:

Choose Scan Document from the Destinations palette menu.
•
Select the scan document icon
at the top of the palette.
2
Press the right mouse button (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) to select the destination.
Choose one of the following from the context menu:
