Suggestion:

The Help button (question mark) of the PDF Information section points to Help_000.htm. I suggest to let it point to Help_000.htm#Metadata

Hi,

    Good catch! Thank you. I have fixed it for the new v2.2.6 which will be out soon.

    Cheers!

Hi,

    Well, I take it back. It works when I reference my external web site. When I attempt to locate the local html file, the bookmark is ignored by the browser. I think this is because the command line needs to make reference to a file, and the bookmark makes no sense on the command line.

    The only way to fix this would be to call the browser, and then pass the address in the command line, but the problem is that I do not know which browser the user is using (ie IE or Firefox or Opera?)

    Maybe I am missing obvious. Do you know how to get a bookmark to open for a local html file?

    Thanks,

Oops. That's bad Unhappy
Only thing I can think of is this dirty solution:

Create a new help page with this contents:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0,url=Help_000.htm#Metadata">
<title>PDF reDirect Help Content</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
However people might have the meta auto refresh option disabled. So maybe it is best to leave things as they are.

Good point: yes, a redirection to the proper page should work. Thanks for the tip: I should have thought of it!
