Description

The function creates a named destination that can be accessed from external PDF files.
Named destinations are useful if the destination must be accessed from another PDF file. For example, a link to the beginning of Chapter 3 in another document might refer to the destination by a name, such as Chap3.begin, instead of an explicit page number in the other document. This makes it possible to change the destination in the document without invalidating the external link that refers to the destination.
Named destinations can be used in the same document by bookmarks, page links, and go-to actions. This makes it possible to share named destinations with external and internal links. Named destinations which are located in another document can be accessed with a go-to-remote action (see DynaPDF.CreateGoToRActionEx for further information).
The different destination types are described in detail at DynaPDF.CreateGoToAction.
To avoid unnecessary problems it is usually best to use 7 bit Ansi strings for named destinations.
If the function succeeds the return value is the destination handle, a value greater or equal zero. If the function fails the return value is an error message.
