For me, that's exactly what they do, by default, both with Adobe
Reader-9, and with Evince-2.32.0/poppler/cairo-0.14.3
Just tried with Acrobat Reader on Windows and you're right! It does work
there. But it does not work properly on Preview on OS X (Snow Leopard).
However other PDFs with bookmarks and/or links do work in Preview.
I wonder if there's some good reason that Preview is behaving like this
just for the pdfroff output. Looking through the PDF contents is not
shedding any light for me.
... rather than to the page that the target is on?
I do seem to recall seeing similar behaviour with an older version of
Evince, or maybe with kpdf, (in the Ubuntu-8.04 era); Adobe Reader has
never, IME, exhibited such behaviour.
For example, my headings are done like this...
.NH 1
.XN -N CONTACTINFORMATION -- CONTACT INFORMATION
.LP
... then the link is like this...
.pdfhref L -D CONTACTINFORMATION -- Contact Information
You don't say, but I'm guessing that you're using the sample -mspdf,
which accompanies the pdfroff/pdfmark distribution? That looks okay to
me; certainly not significantly different from my own usage.
Before I was using `.pdfbookmark' entries for each heading, and had the
same problem. So I decided to use `.XN' instead. But it didn't seem to
change anything.
I did use the pdfmark document as a guide, and I'm building with
pdfroff --no-toc-reloc -stp -mspdf -dpaper=letter -P-pletter
There are no fancy macros or anything.
Thanks for looking.
