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 http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF17.html Shlomo Perets MicroType, http://www.microtype.com FrameMaker/TCS training & consulting * FM-to-Acrobat TimeSavers/Assistants Free 1-hour webinars, starting 10am PT: -- Liven up your PDFs with TimeSavers/Assistants, Tuesday, October 25, https://student.gototraining.com/34gl0/register/2519604899837708032 -- Better PDFs with TimeSavers, Thursday, October 27, https://student.gototraining.com/34gl0/register/8555732421304807936
