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? |

Yes. ...docname.pdf#page=2 seems to work fine.

Thanks. I have tried this before. It does not work for me. I just tried it
again, and the file opened - to the first page - not the one I designated. "David Biddulph" wrote: Yes. ...docname.pdf#page=2 seems to work fine. -- David Biddulph "eugene" wrote in message ...

On further investigation I find that on linking to a PDF file stored locally
on my PC it opens (through Acrobat Reader) on page 1, but when the hyperlink goes to a copy of the same file in the WWW, it opens (through IE) on the page requested. -- David Biddulph "eugene" wrote in message ...
