How to add link to specific page in another PDF

I'd like to create a link within a PDF to a specific page in a different PDF. As far as I can tell, the Create Link tool will only allow me to open another PDF on page 1. I know you can link to another page in the current PDF, but I need to link to a separate PDF. I have also found info on mechanisms for opening to different pages, but these are for opening using browsers or code.
So, is it possible to link create a link in a PDF to a specific page in another PDF?
Thanks for any suggestions.
- John
PS - I'm using Adobe 7.0 Professional.

Try this...
You can link to a specific page in a specific PDF from a bookmark. You navigate to the new view (page of a PDF) when creating the bookmark.
When you want to do that with a link (as in selected text in the body of the PDF) you have to do it in two steps. Use any file open to create the link, then edit the properties of the link, select the Action tab, and change the action to Go To A Page View.
That's how it works in Acrobat 8, but I'm betting it's the same in 7.

Linking to a page in another pdf

Using ID, is it possible to create a pdf that will have a link to a specific page in another pdf?

Indeed it is
Select your text and open the hyperlink panel (Window>Interactive>Hyperlinks)
In the Hyperlink Window in the panel insert the location of the PDF on the internet (copying the url is usually the best way)
For example:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/indesign/pdfs/creating-accessible-pdf-d ocumentw-with-adobe-indesign-cs6-v3.pdf
If you suffix the link with
#page=3
It will open on that page!

Problem while opening a link of a PDF that points to a specific page to another PDF

PDF links whose URIs include backslashes are interpreted by Acrobat Reader browser plug-in as local file-system links even when they are not. This means that a link that points to a specific page number will open the file but not automatically jump to the desired page . In our browser-based viewing tool, this means that the links are perceived as not working.
for example : from IE Browser When we tried to open the link in PDF 1 which has the URL of the 5th section of PDF2 and the URL includes the backslashes then the Specific section of PDF2 is not getting opened . The link just opens the PDF2 first page. This Specific problem does not arrives if we try to open the link through Adobe Reader or if the URL mentioned in the PDF is formed using forwordslashes instead of backslashes.

You have not.

InDesign Link to specific page in a .pdf file

I have an article index that I keep in InDesign. Each item in the index points to a specific page in a separate .pdf file. Is there a way, in InDesign, to create a link that will open the .pdf file to a specific page? The InDesign file contains buttons and is exported to an interactive .pdf file. For example, I may have an article from volume one, page two. In the interactive index, I would like the user to be able to click on this link and open newsletter volume one and jump to page two. I have never found a way to do this in InDesign and currently have to create the text portion of the index in InDesign, export it to an interactive .pdf file and then create all of the links directly in Acrobat Professional. This is very time consuming because whenever I need to update the index, I need to re-export to a new interactive .pdf file and recreate ALL of the links in Acrobat. There should be a way to do this in InDesign.

There SHOULD be a way, yes. But there is none. It's not about Indesign, it's the PDF and handling of action like "Open file".
I tried button actions like "Open file" in Indesign, but you only select the file name and path, nothing else.
If you do the same in Acrobat, by putting an action "Open file" for a hyperlink, it will be the same.
The only thing that works is to use an URL like http://www.yourdomain.com/yourfile.pdf#page=3, where #page=3 can do what you want. You could even place that URL in Indesign or Acrobat, but the PDF would a) open in a browser and b) the PDF reader will always pop up that requester before opening internet links and c) the file would have to be on the internet.
Perhaps Acrobat Javascript could do more here, but then you'd have to embed it somehow in Acrobat (I wouldn't know if Indesign can do that) and Javascript would have to be allowed for that PDF. Not a good choice.

Linking to Specific Page in Attached PDF File

I'm working with a main PDF file as well as an attached one. I'd like to create multiple links in my main file, with each one linking to a different page in the attached file. How could I go about doing this?

You can only do this if the attachment is a PDF file. Here are the help instructions that explain how to create a link in the main PDF document that jumps to the PDF attachment.

How can I save one specific page from a .pdf file into it's own .pdf file?

I've got this 4 page pdf file, and I need to save just one page from it. I know that there's the option of using the select tool and doing a copy/paste to an image file, but I'm trying to keep it as a .pdf and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Perhaps this solutions workability will depend a lot on what type and generation of PDF you got and the tech built into the program suggested....
But ! (never-the-less)
You could try to see if the "Free PDF to Word Doc Converter version 1.1" will work for you....
I know it will not get you a single page .PDF but if the program works you could get a .Doc of which you might have the possibility to save a single page after editing it !(?)

How to create a table of contents (TOC) linking to specific pages of different (multiple) PDFs

Hi All,
I would like to create clickable Table of Contents (TOC) that can lead to a sub clickable TOC that would lead to a specific page of different PDFs within a folder.
Is that possible?
Secondly, is is possible to create a search box that upon typing a specific word (not related to text within the PDFs), that word to be linked to a specific page of a particular PDF out of many within a folder?
To make it more clear, I have a database of specifications of equipment and drawings of a building, all in multiple PDF files. I would like to be able to unify all those PDFs and if I type the room number of the building to be presented with a menu of choces pointing to services assosiated with that room, being elctrical power drawings, lighting drawings or drawings of Air Conditioning and Ducting associated with that room. So I type a room number, then I get a menu of Power, Lights, Fire Alarm, or Ducting all associated with that room, then if I click Fire Alarm to be directed straight to the drawing within a PDF related to that room.
Thanks

I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
Good luck!
P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.

Link to a specific page in a PDF - from word

Hey guys
Possibly a stupid question, however Im not too familiar with acrobat and creating pdfs etc, I have searched and tried whatever answers i've found though.
What Im needing to do (well, its another user, but they've asked me to fix it for them) is create a link in a word document that will open a pdf at a particular page. This word document will then be exported to PDF and the linking needs to still work. The files will be on the local filesystem (not a web server) and need to open in acrobat reader, not an IE window.
I can get it to work fine if you manually edit the link in Acrobat professional and tell it to go to a page in another PDF, but when I try adding the link in word it just opens the PDF at page 1.
What I've tried doing:
Create a hyperlink in word to c:\test.pdf#page=50
Create a hyperlink in word to c:\test.pdf#chapter6 (with chapter6 being a destination in the PDF document)
as above but with file:///c:/test.pdf#page50 and file:///c:/test.pdf#chapter6
All of these open the PDF but at page 1, not page 50. When i view the link properties in acrobat it shows the action as being "Open a file: c:\test.pdf" but nothing about opening to a specific page.
The user does not want to edit the resulting pdf in acrobat once it has been created, due to needing to frequently update the word document and re-export to pdf.
Systems are running WinXP, Office 03, and have tried with Acrobat 6 and 8 (would prefer it to work with version 6, as 8 is just the trial and would prefer not to have to upgrade to get this to work).
Any help would be much appreciated!

I have a similar problem I would like to solve. I am also running Word 2003, Windows XP and Acrobat Professional 7.0.
I can create a hyperlink in a word document to open a separate PDF file.
I can then use PDF Maker to convert the word document to PDF.
No problem.
When I click on the new link in the PDF document it opens the separate file in the same window and the original PDF file is closed.
I do not want the original file to close.
When I set up a new link from within Acrobat then I get the option to "Open in new window". This link works the way that I want.
As there are multiple hyperlinks in the word document, I will need to recreate new links everytime I modify the Word document. This is very time consuming
Question - how do I get the automatically created link to open in a new window?
Thanks in advance

Linking to specific page in pdf document

I'm trying to link to a specific page within a pdf document
using the following syntax:
https://uhaul.net/publications/publication.ashx?FileName=MB197.pdf#page=3
However, the pdf opens to the first page, instead of to page
3 (which is what I want). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can only do this if the attachment is a PDF file. Here are the help instructions that explain how to create a link in the main PDF document that jumps to the PDF attachment.

How to add linked button in grid?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to add linked button in a grid? I can't find it but i saw someone ask similar question but seems none of them works.
Thanks a lot!
P.S. For some reason, i can't use matrix because the data is from a SQL query.
Lan

Hi,
as far as I know it is not possible, since this adjustment is made for the whole column. I have created a grid and I open the shown document by double clicking the row header. In the grid I can see if it is sales or purchase and so I use a workaround by opening the specific system form (e.g. sales invoice) in find mode and search the document by document number (also shown in the grid).
Sample:
oSBOapp.ActivateMenuItem("2053"); //sales invoice
oForm = oSBOapp.Forms.ActiveForm;
oForm.Mode = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_FIND_MODE;
oEdit = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)oForm.Items.Item("8").Specific;
oEdit.Value = Convert.ToString(dNum);
oForm.Items.Item("1").Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular);
By the click event, you get the specific row number. Hope it helps...
Regards
Sebastian
