I agree with you and Pablo: the ISO standard is what counts. And I believe that named destinations, their use, and viewer behavior is described there clearly. ... so one handicap for me is that i won't make test docs for it
I will try to provide minimal examples that I believe are so common that the viewer behavior should be clear. ...
And sorry, not being the default, why is wrong reading pages in fit to width mode?
that one still has to make sure that there is a reasonable view area (so that one sees what went and comes) ... i'm not sure how you handle it but esp jumping from page to page in a fit width mode is quite annoying; fit width actually makes sense when one makes each chapter (or section) into one long page and i actually played with it but i found no viewer capable to keep the same scale each page
I believe that many people have to make compromises, e.g., cannot afford the time or money to produce both a screen version and a print version of a document. I believe that the fit-width mode is a good compromise - as long as it is viewed in "continuous" viewing mode. ...
Is there anything that I can do to help? I’m especially interested in this feature.
small few page examples with predictable positioning and predictable spacing (btw, footnotes will always be sort of a pain as they are rendered in special ways, but footnotes should be forbidden anyway; if a doc is also for screen endnotes are way better)
I agree with you about footnotes. And, as mentioned above, I will try to come up with decent example documents. There are still cases in my documents that don't work and i will try to minimize these. Thanks again for your effort! Christoph

As a reader (of bound books), I very much prefer footnotes (at the bottom of the printed page) to endnotes. I actually read footnotes so shuffling back and forth between sections of the book can be a pain. Of course, this is not the case for on-screen readers. Reading on a screen one can have two approaches: either it is like reading a book (in which case I like to use dual mode on a large screen) or else one is reading a screen document in a continuous scroll mode (in which case pages including headers and footers make no sense). Using this second approach, footnotes must be used as endnotes, but not in the first approach. Alan
