Bookmarks to other PDFs work great in PC... not on Mac!!

[TheDust]

We have been creating PDF-based interactive CD-ROMs for a client of ours for over a year now with no problems. All of a sudden with this current project we have a crazy problem. The bookmark navigation works fine on PC but not on Mac.

I've been able to get the Mac bookmarks to work only if I use Javascript, which isn't an option because we need the user to stay in the same window (if anyone know how to do this with Javascript do tell). I can't make any sense of it... I've tried copying the files to a number of different locations locally and on the network for both Mac and PC and the results are always the same. I've tried using the "Go to Document" command as well as the "Go to a Page in Document" command with no luck. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I found the following in my Acrobat Javascript Scripting Reference:

openInPlace (property of the App object) - determines whether cross-document links are opened in the same window or opened in a new window.
Type: Boolean Access: R/W.
Example: app.openInPlace = true;

You can find this reference at the following link -- it's the second refence in the Highlights column:
