Hyperlink to a specific page in a pdf (Acrobat) file

[Rich]

I can set up a hyperlink to an Adobe Acrobat pdf file,
but I'd like to be able to point to a specific page or
bookmark in the Acrobat file. There's a bookmark button
on the Insert Hyperlink window, but it doesn't seem to
work with links to a .pdf file. Any ideas would be
appreciated...thanks, rich

Shyam Pillai posted this awhile back. You might try the same for the PDF.

First:
1. Open the Word document and move to the region where the text region that
you wish to move to begins.
2. Select Insert | Bookmark and type in a name for this Bookmark.
3. Save the document and close it.

Then in PowerPoint 97:
1. Select the shape
2. Click in the 'Insert hyperlink' button on the toolbar
3. In the link to file field, select the Word document.
4. In the named location in the file field, type the name of the bookmark.
5. Click on OK
6. Save the presentation.

In later versions of PowerPoint
1. Open the presentation.
2. Select the shape, right-click it and select hyperlink
3. Select 'Existing page or hyperlink' option.
4. Type/select the name of the Word document.
5. In the file name field add #BookMarkName at the end of the file name
6. Click on Ok
7. Save the presentation

e.g If C:\Documents\MyDoc.Doc is the file you wish to hyperlink to and
created a name MyBookMark within the document. The final hyperlink to the
document would look like:
C:\Documents\MyDoc.Doc#MyBookMark

There's a way of hyperlinking to named destinations within a PDF but it has
to be done from within HTML and to PDF on a web server. It might also be
possible to do it locally via DDE, but haven't a clue how.

Yes Chirag, but that works only on a HTTP server - not on your desktop or
any other distribution media.
