If you have a PDF document live on the Web, can you link to a specific page within it instead of the PDF opening at the title page? Absolutely! The page=<pagenum> parameter let’s you do just that.
For example, try http://blogs.adobe.com/samartha/Handbook/pdf_handbook.pdf#page=8. When you click this link, the destination PDF opens directly at page 8.
There are several other parameters that you can specify when you open or link to a PDF document. The following parameters I think are especially useful:
- search=<wordList>; for example, http://blogs.adobe.com/samartha/Handbook/pdf_handbook.pdf#search=”change bar”
- nameddest=<destination>
- comment=<commentID>
For more information, see Parameters for Opening PDF Files (PDF) in the Acrobat SDK documentation set.
its very nice products adobe.
This is really amazing! I am sure this will simplify PDF navigation.
Nope, your pdf opens on page 1 instead of 8 for me. Tried these parameters with # a thousand times already myself. Still no effect. Any idea why?
I’m using a MacBook Pro with OSX (10.6.5), Firefox 3.6.12 and I have Adobe CS4 installed, with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.1. Same thing happens when I use Safari.
Getting a bit desperate
Thanks for this valid point. We are investigating it at our end and will revert with an answer soon.
Works like a dream on Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, with the Adobe PDF plug-in.
