I learned this so long ago I can't remember; is there a way to write a
hypertext marker so that you open a pdf manual on a certain page?
If the target PDF resides in a web site or accessed through a web link
(i.e. the file will open in the default web browser rather than in
Acrobat/Reader):
add "#Page=nn" to the link.
For example:
http://www.microtype.com/showcase/NavigationAsst/Presence.pdf#page=7
To open a stand-alone PDF in Acrobat/Reader at the default opening page,
use the following hypertext marker:
message openfile file.pdf
If your target PDF is authored by you in FrameMaker, you can use
cross-references or gotolink/newlink hypertext markers to define links to
specific locations.
If the PDF is authored by someone else using FrameMaker, you can use the
gotopage hypertext marker.
For example: gotopage Foundation.pdf:3
This won't work with PDFs not authored with FrameMaker (since the gotopage
marker actually links to specific page-related named destinations which
FrameMaker places in the PDF).
Additional link/bookmark options, which work with PDFs independently of the
authoring application, are available with the FrameMaker-to-Acrobat
TimeSavers add-on through the ~PageLink custom markers (optionally opening
the target in a separate window) -- see example at
