Hello Harald,

Unfortunately this can only be done using Links and HTML.
If you use UNC server locations (\\servername\folder) in a link, set the link to open to a set destination using the procedure in the following section. If you use URLs containing local hard drive addresses (c:\folder\), you cannot link to page numbers or set destinations.

If you are able to set this up as a link then this is a sample of what the link to open a specific page should look like:

Code: Select all

<A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#page=3">
Alternatively, If you wish to use named destinations (not bookmarks), this sample should help:

Code: Select all

<A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#Chapter 2">
It should be noted however that most modern PDF readers (our Editor included) will only obey this the first time a file is opened. As there is an application option to "remember last used view/zoom/etc" which is enabled by default. The users will have to consciously decide to disable this from their end in whichever application they choose to use in order to have you links work at all times.

Kind regards,
