Dear sir,

       suppose that i am  having a target text and link to a target text in a pdf document(created either by using pdftex or by using a distiller) if i click the link it will take you to the target text. When you go to the target text if i want to highlate the text with some color temporarily( like when you use find ) what must be the postscript code or javascript code that i should embed in a tex file.

This is kind of tricky, maybe something:

- use the background mechanism to mark text fragments

- put the background of the destination text in a pdf layer, this is an 
acrobat 6 feature, supported by context (not to be confused with context 
layers)

- the link should then indeed be a javascript that sets a global 
variable with info about the destination

- in the destination document, the pags action should be a javascript 
which checks the global variable and if applicable, enables the layer, 
thereby turning on the background

if javascript supports cross document search within a page range (i 
didn't check that) a solution is to simply put a javascript behind a link
