Default hyperlink - PDF file - relative reference

Hi,

Two issues.
(1) Has anyone been able to get a hyperlink to open a particular page in a
PDF file?

I am unable to create such a hyperlink. Internet research indicate that this
is a known problem and is due to some sort of incompatibility between MS and
Adobe Reader and the suggestion is made to use Mozilla Firefox instead of IE.
But this would not help for links from Excel.

In a post earlier this year Jim Cone suggested using FoxIt as a PDF reader
to someone who encountered a different sort of problem with hyperlinks to PDF
files.
Does anyone know if using FoxIt will allow the creation of a link to a
specific page in the PDF file?

(2) Can one avoid writing the complete path in =HYPERLINK? I know it is not
necessary to write the path when two files are in the same directory. But
what if the second file is in a different directory, either higher, parallel,
or lower?
