Depending on how the .PDF was generated, you might not even be able to do that. 
 I was reading one a couple of days ago and needed to go to section 2-4 or some 
such, according to the index.  With some PDFs, you can type "2-4" into the page 
number field and jump directly there.  Not so with whatever manual I was 
reading at the time.  Thus, I pretty much had to plug in a random page number 
(64?  51? 123?) and hope I was in the vicinity of 2-4.

Thankfully, that situation is fairly uncommon.

And, I've noticed that some PDFs have a "Table of Contents" that you can
click on to go directly to a section in the PDF. But, in my experience,
this is RARE. IIRC, none of the CA manuals that I have can do this. I
don't remember any IBM manuals that can do this either. So I must jump
directly to some page number and hope that I get near what I need. The
pgdn/pgup to try to find what I'm looking for.
