Linking from an HTML page to a destination in a PDF file
I have a request to establish links from an HTML document on my company's web site to a specific topic within a PDF file produced via FrameMaker. Has anyone done this before? The HTML page summarizes changes in a recent release and references about 100 individual features. Each feature has a number and those numbers appear in the PDF file, but each number appears at least three times and, in some cases, more often. In only one place is the actual text they are wanting to link to. Plus, the (PDF) release document is still changing. I can think of ways to do this by pulling the HTML document into FrameMaker and setting up the links there, then creating HTML (or PDF) output, but I can't think of a good way to do exactly what I'm asked to do other than linking to specific page numbers, which would be time-consuming to set up and difficult to maintain. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Linking from an HTML page to a destination in a PDF file
From Shlomo Perets:- It is possible to add a page action to the opening page of a PDF, and set that action to be a web link. In Acrobat 6 or higher, display the Pages panel (previously called Thumbnails), right click the first page, and then click the Actions tab; add a Page Open: Open a web link action. Notice that when such a PDF is displayed in recent versions of Acrobat/Reader, a security message will be shown, indicating that the PDF is trying to open a web site (the action can be blocked or allowed; the web site can be learned as a valid one). If the pdf file is accessed through a web site, another option altogether is to set up an HTML file whose purpose is to redirect the browser to a different address, and name it as file with a .pdf extension. For example, the http://www.microtype.com/Training.pdf file is a text file with the following content: html head meta http-equiv=refresh content=1; URL=http://www.microtype.com/training.html; /head In this case, redirection is transparent; Acrobat/Reader is not even opened, when the pdf file link is clicked in a browser. However, if such a file is opened locally (eg by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer), Acrobat/Reader will try to open the file as PDF file and an error message will be displayed, indicating that this is not a valid PDF file.
