Hi Ken,
Your surmise was correct.
The PDF document containing the link was opened by using a link on an
HTML page served up by my ISS 8 localhost. When I clicked on the link in
the opened PDF, I got that strange "resource://pdf.js/web/ ".
However, opening it with Adobe Reader gave me an almost correct URL:
///C:/Czechout%20Index/builder/work/htm/hello.htm. The three'///' at the
beginning of the URL appear to be just the start of my problems.
I suspect one cannot open a PDF file from an HTML page in a browser,
then return from that PDF document to an HTML page in the same original
directory using a base-uri constructed by <fo:basic-link
external-destination> in an XSLT stylesheet (under these conditions).
Thanks for helping me to (maybe) understand this.
Regards,
Mark

You are correctly specifying the HTML file from you XSL-FO, Mark.
Based on your evidence, I suspect the problem is with your reader
supplying a base-uri that is different than the current directory in
which the PDF file is being opened.
The following works for me, formatting it with Antenna House and
opening it in Acrobat Reader:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?><!--basic-link3.fo-->
<root xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
font-family="Times" font-size="20pt">
<layout-master-set>
<simple-page-master master-name="frame"
page-height="297mm" page-width="210mm"
margin-top="15mm" margin-bottom="15mm"
margin-left="15mm" margin-right="15mm">
<region-body region-name="frame-body"/>
</simple-page-master>
</layout-master-set>
<page-sequence master-reference="frame">
<flow flow-name="frame-body"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<block>This is a <basic-link
external-destination="hello.htm">link test</basic-link>.</block>
</flow>
</page-sequence>
</root>
When I click on "link test", Firefox opens up and shows the
"hello.htm" file.
I hope this helps.

Hello,
I have been linking PDFs together for some time now, using both
internal- and external- destination attributes. Is it possible to go
from a pdf document to an html file in the same directory? I've tried
several variations, but when I hold my cursor over the link in the
PDF document, it always reports as the address:
resource://pdf.js/web/
and it does nothing when clicked.
My target is:
concat(lower-case(@file-by), '.htm')
I have formulated the external-destination as:
<fo:basic-link>
<xsl:attribute name="external-destination"
select="concat(lower-case(@file-by), '.htm')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="@data"/>
</fo:basic-link>
and as (the method I use to connect to another PDF document):
<fo:basic-link>
<xsl:attribute name="external-destination">
<xsl:text>url("</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(@file-by, '.htm')"/>
<xsl:text>")</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="@data"/>
</fo:basic-link>
What is the correct method, if any?
Thanks,
Mark
