Specify Named Destination with PDActionLaunch

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to create a link that uses opens a PDF at a specific
Named Destination (a bit like the cDest parameter of app.openDoc() in JS),
and I was thinking that maybe one of the parameters of PDActionLaunch can
do it, but I haven't been able to find out if that's the case or not.

Any help is appreciated...

I was asked by a fellow-user to explain how I did it, so here goes (assume
you have two strings, one called remoteFilePath with the path of the file,
and one called remoteDestName with the name of the Named Destination you
wish to open):

                PDAction action = new PDActionRemoteGoTo();
                PDSimpleFileSpecification fileSpec = new
PDSimpleFileSpecification();
                fileSpec.setFile(remoteFilePath);
                ((PDActionRemoteGoTo) action).setFile(fileSpec);
                ((PDActionRemoteGoTo) action).setD(new
COSString(remoteDestName));

And a bit later on we apply the action to the PDAnnotationLink object, and
add that object to the PDPage:

                txtLink.setAction(action);
                page.getAnnotations().add(txtLink);

Hope this helps!
