How to open to a certain page on a PDF document from a link?

Question

I'm trying to open a PDF document from a hyperlink to a certain page. So I set the link to this: http://www.mywebsite.com/document.pdf#Page=14

However, when I click the link initally that's the url I see in the urlbar, but it eventually goes to just: http://www.mywebsite.com/document.pdf

I can type the #Page=14 to the end and press enter and it will work but for some reason it will not work the first way.

What am I doing wrong or what might be preventing me from opening to the correct page? Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm a little confused by this syntax. The bookmark in a URL will be the name of an anchor tag. Something like #topic1 , #topic2 . What is the purpose of having a name/value pair as your bookmark?

It should work according to Adobe.

Unless you are using Acrobat 7.0 in Internet Explorer. There was a bug with that combination. Solution: upgrade to Acrobat Reader 8, or use a different browser.
