LinkAnnotation Destination PageNumber is always 0

Hi,

I notice in some PDF with LinkAnnotations pointing another page inside the document, the PageNumber property in LinkAnnotation.Destination attribute is always 0. Destination is implemented by XYZExplicitDestination.
Note the Action attribute is null.

How can I get the page pointed by the link annotation?

    foreach (var annotationIn in pdfPage.Annotations)
    {
        if (annotationIn is LinkAnnotation link)
        {
            if (link.Destination != null && link.Destination is XYZExplicitDestination xyzDestination)
            {
                var pageNumber = xyzDestination.PageNumber; // always 0. Note link.Destination.Page is null
            }
        }
    }

Hi,

Any feedback on this issue?

We encounter the issue, for example, with any PDF document containing a Table of Content generated from MS-Word. PageNumber is 0 in LinkAnnotation. Is there any information we missed to know the target page?

Note the links are working in Abode Acrobat.

Thanks
