Adding parameters while linking to a PDF
As Mike Potter mentioned in his blog of November 24, parameters are available that you can add to a weblink to a PDF to pass Acrobat/Reader additional instructions. For example, if you have a multi-page PDF and you would like to have your user go directly to page 34 when the PDF is launched the URL could be http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15.pdf#page=34. Another example allows you to add search words to the URL:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pub/p15.pdf#search="bracket" will launch the search window in Acrobat/Reader and highlight all instances of the word bracket in the document.
For a description of all possible parameters, please see the Acrobat documentation.
