Export Destination URLs

Overview

Output Named Destination URLs exports a list of named destinations from the active PDF as full URLs. Each URL is formed by combining a user-supplied base URL with a fragment identifier derived from the destination name.

How to use

  1. Open a PDF that contains named destinations.
  2. Go to Plug-Ins > Named Destinations > Output Named Destination URLs.
  3. Enter a Base URL (e.g. https://example.com/docs/report.pdf).
  4. Click Browse to choose an output text file.
  5. Click OK to export the destination URLs.

Dialog fields

FieldDescription
Base URL The prefix applied to every named destination. The base URL must start with http:// or https://. A domain-like value without a scheme (e.g. example.com/docs) is automatically prefixed with https://. Trailing slashes are stripped, and each destination name is appended as a URL-encoded fragment (#DestName).
Output file The text file where the destination URLs are saved, one URL per line. Use the Browse button to select the file location.

Tip

Use a base URL that points to the hosted location of your PDF so that the output URLs can be used as direct deep links, for example: https://example.com/docs/report.pdf#Section1.

Note

If the PDF has no named destinations, no output file is created. The base URL cannot contain spaces or use a non-HTTP scheme.
