Indexing links in ADE
I am indexing a book and have found that ADE does not take you from the link directly to the paragraph anchor in the main text. (You have to scroll down or go to the next page to find the reference.) Is this a problem with ADE ? As these links work correctly on the Kindle taking you directly to the paragraph i.e they appear at the top of the screen.
Is there a way around this? Thanks |

This does not sound like normal behavior. Are you sure the links are correct with unique id's for link and anchor?

The solution would be for ADE to highlight the target on the page but it does not do that. Dale |

soparch, do you have any tips on index creation in general? I have started a thread about the topic over here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=152612

Thanks for the replies. I think Dalede is right Just another thing that Adobe has not bothered to get right.
It would be interesting to find out if this is the case for all readers that use the ADE engine though. Perhaps people could test it using their readers and post the results. Also does anyone know what method ADE uses to come up with its page numbers? |

ADE (and all RMSDK based readers) will take you to the screen that contains the link. ADE will not repaginate the content so that the link is on the top of the screen (I'm biased, but I believe this to be the correct behavior) . If it does not take you that screen (ie you have to scroll), then that's a bug.

Page numbers Synthetic page numbers are used when the page map is not available in the document, Adobe Digital Editions will synthesize a page-map based on the document content. The approach used is the following: 1. Determine a compressed byte length of each resource which is referenced in the spine, subtracting any known encryption overhead (IV size) 2. Assume that there is a page for each 1024 bytes in each resource, rounding up to the nearest whole number of pages for each resource. 3. To map page breaks into a resource, use the number of pages for the resource as determined in step 2, count the number of Unicode characters in the resource; distribute synthetic page breaks in the resource evenly between the characters by dividing the number of characters by the number of pages; if the number of characters don’t divide evenly among the pages, round the number of characters per page up and let the last “page” contain less characters than the rest. |
