I had this problem too,

The only way I could find was to open the pdf with buddyapi
wait for the ok that it opened properly (maybe add a short delay for slower machines)
Then use baSendKeys to send key presses to the pdf.

as I remember, Ctrl+N to open the page number dialog, then the entry box is already 
selected, so send the page number you want to go to, then send the enter key as a 3rd 
command.  Its a bit messy I know, but the only time we have trouble is if we don't 
leave a big enough delay for the pdf viewer \ application to open.

hope you can do something with it, I'll be watching closely to see if a better 
solution presents itself
