Below is a handler utilizing buddyAPI that opens pdfs to a specific
spot, so long as your audience has Acrobat version 6, which is the
minimum version that handles opening parameters. Hopefully it will work
for you.

on mOpenPDFwithParams(me, whichOne, theFolder, openingParams)
-- USAGE (Acrobat version >= 6):
gTools.mOpenOperatingStandards("thePdf", " /A page=137 ")
thePath = string(pData.pMoviePath & "articles" & pData.pDelim &
theFolder & pData.pDelim & whichOne) -- my path to a PDF
sprite(pData.pSprites.pMenu).menuMember = member("theLogoMenu",
"assets") -- reset to the info member
thePath = baShortFileName(thePath)
if thePath <> "" then -- found this pdf doc, so open it
theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf"))
theAppString = theApp & openingParams & thePath-- openingParams
must be surrounded by spaces, possibly within its quotes!
-- open theAppString
theResult = baRunProgram(theAppString, "Normal", FALSE)
if theResult < 32 then
baMsgBox(string("Error Code" && theResult & ". Document
failed to open."), "Error", "OK", "Stop", 1)
end if
else -- pdf doc doesn't exist, so alert and leave
baMsgBox("It appears that you don't have Acrobat on your
computer.", "Open error!", "OK", "Stop", 1)
exit
end if
end
