Hi, Cindy,
Can you see the URL that the back button goes to? If you can, does it have any indication of the location within the document or just the name of the PDF file? That is, does it look like SomeDocument.pdf#SomeHeading or just SomeDocument.pdf?
If the # sign is present, then the browser can try to link to a particular place in the PDF file. If it's not present, then the browser doesn't have the information needed to link to a particular place in the PDF file.
A browser can only link to a particular place in a PDF file if the PDF file includes named destinations. I have no idea whether Antenna House's PDF generator supports named destinations, but that's the feature to be looking for when you track down this problem.

(I recently implemented named destinations for FOP, so this subject rings a big bell with me.)

Subject: [xsl] XSL-FO control over external links
When I generate a PDF document via XSL-FO (formatted via Antenna House), I have links to some external web sites. When I open the PDF file in Internet Explorer and right-click on the link and say "open in browser", I go to the web page I want. The problem is that when I hit the back button in IE, I go back to the first page of my document instead of the link anchor point. Is there any way to control this behavior in my XSL-FO or is this something that can be set in browser settings?
If I just left-click the link without saying "open in browser", it opens a new IE window to the web page and my document stays at the same point as where I linked from.
Any ideas on getting it to work so that when I just do a regular mouse click on the link, that it doesn't open a new window (the web page fills my document's page) but does return to my link anchor when I hot the back button?
Any ideas appreciated!
