Susan,
I encountered the very same problem that you described. I seem to recall
that the problem was fixed in XEP 3.6.4 or perhaps in 3.7.something. Until
the problem was fixed completely, here's what I learned: if the target
document was not already opened in Acrobat (in another Acrobat window, that
is), then clicking on any link aimed at that target document would result
in it opening to page 1. If, however, the target document happened to be
already opened in another Acrobat window, then clicking on a link aimed at
that target document would cause the proper page to be displayed.
Once the problem was fixed, it no longer required that the target document
already be opened. I don't recall exactly which version of XEP fixed the
problem, but it was certainly before 3.8.4 --- in fact, I've been using
3.8.2 and the problem doesn't occur in that version.
Just in case it's useful, here's a snippet of my .fo code for an "external"
link:
<fo:basic-link external-destination="url('file:my_file.pdf#'my_symbol'')"
color="#000070"><fo:inline keep-together.within-line="always">Target
text</fo:inline> Rest of target text</fo:basic-link>
Note that I'm using the "file" scheme, not the "http" scheme, but that
shouldn't matter, I think.
Hope this helps,
Jim
