PDF Bookmarks in Chrome and IE

I am wondering if anyone can help me with an issue I am having with Chrome and IE.
I have a PDF document which has bookmarks on it. I have uploaded the PDF and I have linked a piece of text to this document - Something like "click here to read this article". The 'here' is hyperlinked to the PDF bookmark using #namedest='destination name'
This works perfectly in Firefox. I click on 'here' and the PDF document opens up and brings me to the correct bookmark. However in IE and Chrome when I click 'here' the PDF opens but only brings me to the top of the page with the bookmark.
Is there anyway to get the PDF to open at the bookmark (half way down the page) rather then the top in IE and Chrome?
Thanks in advance!
Did you actually create definitions in the PDF? Sounds like FFox is using some hackery because you cannot directly link to bookmarks, only definitions or page #'s. If you have a PDF editor/full/whatever, then you can create some definitions - if not then if I were you I'd just resort to using #page=

Embedded PDF prints off-center

<embed width="100%" height="100%" src="filename.pdf" type="application/pdf">
I can embed a PDF file into a web page using the simple code above. But when I go to print the web page (using CTRL+P), only half the PDF appears on the print preview as it has been off-centred. The same happens on this web page: http://pdfobject.com/examples/simplest-full-window.html.
Here is an example of a 'Print Version' web page where the embedded PDF centres when it is printed (CTRL+P): http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/our_paella_92328.pdf. This example is also responsive, which is useful as the print appearance remains consistent no matter the size of the browser window.
Firstly how do I centre the embedded PDF upon printing? Secondly, how do I make the embedded PDF responsive?
When you want to print an embedded PDF, you must use the print command from the PDF plugin, not the print command from the web browser.
In the first example the Javascript code loads the PDF plugin and replaces the HTML document with the PDF document. If you hit CTRL+P then the print dialog from Internet Explorer is shown. If you click into the PDF plugin then press CTRL+P, then the print dialog from Adobe PDF plugin is shown.
In second example you open directly the PDF file. In this case the PDF plugin is loaded and activated automatically. No need to click in it. Pressing CTRL+P brings its own print dialog.

Safari PDF controls missing PDF is rendered in iFrame

Anyone know why the PDF controls normally available when displaying a PDF in Safari would be missing when displayed in an iframe? Neither the "hover" controls or the extnded contextual menu is available. Safari reognized it as a PDF because the contextual menu includes the word PDF in the Open commands, ie. "Open PDF in new Window"
Opening a PDF into an empty browser works fine. The built in controls in Chrome and Firefox are there as well and work fine.
I am serving the PDFs using a very simple web page with an iframe inside a div.
I could be wrong but thought that they were there when I first started this project but I just noticed today that they are missing. Without them, PDF drawings cannot be zoomed in and out rendering them useless as PDFs.

Is it not possible to print a pdf from a hyperlink?

I have looked for weeks and I keep hitting dead ends. I know you can create a text or image link and tell it to "print page" in a browser. But so far, I can't get it to print a document, specifically a pdf. I would like the print dialog to show after the link is clicked and yes, the pdf linked to has been printed.
Why does this seem to be such an impossible feat? I have seen it work in a Flash movie, but since I cannot access the native file I cannot see how it was done.
Any advice?
Thanks.
Many of today's printers support direct PDF printing. Lexmark, HP, Xerox to name a few all have this on most of the 'business' printers. On these devices simply sending the PDF file directly to the device over LPR, port 9100, or some other mechanism will result in a printed document. Some devices even support URLs. I do know that Lexmark had some devices that a URL could be sent to the printer as as long as it had access to the URL it would pull the document and print. In this case it supported basic HTML, JPEG, TIF, and PDF.
Hope this helps.
A PDF must be rendered as an image before it can be printed. Usually when you're printing a PDF file on your desktop you could simply right-click on the file and select Print and if you have Adobe Reader or an alternative application set as your default PDF viewer, then the PDF that you have selected will be opened automatically -- at this stage the PDF is rendered as an image -- and then the printing process will begin.
But if there is no access to a PDF viewer that can render the PDF and then print it, then you won't be able to print the PDF. Usually if you have Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, etc, installed then when you click on a URL to a PDF then the PDF will open within the PDF viewer within the browser and you will be able to print it.
Alternatively, you could find a PDF SDK that silently renders a PDF as an image and then sends that to the printer, without the need to have a PDF viewer installed on your machine.
