I am using a scheme like:

section{<section name>}

begin{block}{thesection.  secname}

% content placed here

end{block}

To achieve panels on a beamer poster. I would also ideally use

hypersetup{bookmarks=true}

in the preamble or otherwise, so that when the poster is opened in a .pdf viewer which supports bookmarks, one could navigate to the panel / section / block of interest.

I suspect that this functionality is working fine, however, I'm realizing that the bookmark functionality may be restricted to page. Naturally, since all of the content on a poster is on the same page, then selecting different bookmarks in the .pdf viewer will have no observable effect on the document view.

The functionality that I think would be useful is to `zoom to area occupied by content'. Despite the fact that all content is on the same page, selecting a bookmark would adjust the view, zooming in to encompass the page space occupied by the section associated with the bookmark selected.

Any comments on whether this functionality is supported?

Please see the mwe below:

% +655360 is to move the y coordinate up by 10pt

bookmark[

 page=1,

 view=XYZ posinbp{zposx{sec1}} posinbp{zposy{sec1}+655360}  3]{SEC 1}



bookmark[

 page=1,

 view=XYZ posinbp{zposx{sec2}} posinbp{zposy{sec2}+655360}  3]{SEC 2}





end{document}

In the adobe reader (in sumatra it doesn't work) I then get this initial view

And this if I click on the SEC2 bookmark:

An alternative view could be the page /FitR left bottom right top setting. For this use two labels, one at the top left, and one at the bottom right.
