Javier, Please advise where you discovered the params for 'A' switch and start page in launching the PDF file.
Don't see reference to these settings in command syntax for LAUNCH.

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.

According to Acrobat XI you can pass the /A page=3 and it will work, I have tried but no luck.
