Robert,
I thought someone would have pitched in with answer by now. In any case,
here is code that you can use to do what you want:
-- Code to LAUNCH Acrobat Reader and open on a selected page
-- Define variables
SET VAR vLaunchProg TEXT = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader
10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe'
SET VAR vFileName TEXT = 'features.pdf'
SET VAR vStartPage INT = 5
SET VAR vLaunchParams = ('/A' & CHAR(34) + 'PAGE=' +
+ CTXT(.vStartPage) + CHAR(34) & CHAR(34) +.vFileName + CHAR(34))
-- Create LAUNCH command
SET VAR vLaunch = (.vLaunchProg & '|' & .vLaunchParams & '|W')
-- Launch the command file
LAUNCH .vLaunch
RETURN
The variable vFileName holds the entire file path and name if it is not in
the current directory.
You can use whatever number you need for the start page; in this example I
used 5
The "|W" switch simply tells R:Base to wait until the program executes and
then return to R:Base; you can skip it if you don't need it.
Good luck.

Hi there:
I was wandering if anyone knows a way to open a multiple page pdf file on a
specific page.
According to Acrobat XI you can pass the /A page=3 and it will work, I have
tried but no luck.
