I'm trying to create links from a web page to specific locations (destinations) in a pdf. I make the destinations in Acrobat, then I create the links in the web page (for example, userguide.pdf#intro), and they work perfectly in IE and Opera but not in Firefox. When I try these links in Firefox, it links to the pdf, but to the wrong place (usually the top of the pdf, but sometimes other places too). This has happened on two different computers, too.

Someone has recently suggested that it may not be a Firefox problem after all, but a Reader problem--specifically, a problem with the Reader plug-in we have on Firefox. Does anyone have any insight on this?
