Adobe Acrobat - Linking to a specific point in another .pdf

motorguy

Hi,

I have Adobe Acrobat XI, and i've been asked to modify some documents to include links to other documents.

This is all fine, however i have been asked to link to a specific point in those other documents.

For example, if you were to click on 'limited company' it would open the 'glossary.pdf' and take you to the reference to 'limited company'.

Anyone any clue on how this could be done?

This video shows how to do it in 10.....probably the same as 11.

No, thats showing how to do it within the current document. I want to do it into an external document.

I've made some progress. Apparently when you enter the file name of the doc you want to link to, if you suffix that with '#page=5' then that takes you to page 5 of the doc you are linking to.

That might be as far as i can get, but i think it will keep the powers that be happy.

Try

http://www.whatever.com/myfile.pdf#pagemode=bookmarks&page=2

http://www.whatever.com/myfile.pdf#page=2

http://www.whatever.com/myfile.pdf#Chapter6

http://www.whatever.com/myfile.pdf#glossary

Thats perfect william

I have set up bookmarks in the other document, and i can now get it to open the doc and go to a specific bookmark.

Many thanks for taking the time at this. Very helpful!
