Acrobat 6 and Web URL

[SexyDevil82]

When I created a link in Acrobat 6.0 (exemple:

http://www.url.com/basics.html#Web)

When I click on my link later, the page doesn't display. When looking in the URL bar, I can see that my # sign has been change to %23

I've try different links that include a # sign and all the same problem. Any idea what might cause that?
Thanks

The technical explanation is:

"The specification for URLs (RFC 1738, Dec. '94) poses a problem, in that it limits the use of allowed characters in URLs to only a limited subset of the US-ASCII character set:
"...Only alphanumeric [0-9a-zA-Z], the special characters "$-_.+!*'()," not including the quotes, and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used uuencoded within a URL."

Basically: special characters in a url are converted to "safe url characters" so "spaces" become %20 the # symbol becomes %23 and so on...
