Adobe PDF to page issue

Question

Has there been any resolution as far as using Authorware 6.5
or later to open an Acrobat file to a specific page? I would like
to have Authorware launch the PDF at a specific page, and would
like to accomplish this with code rather than a plug-in. Is this
possible yet?

Answer 1

You can open a pdf to a specific page by specifying the page
as part of the
URL. You may need to use JumpOutReturn or GoToNetPage for
this. I found the
following at the PlanetPDF website:
"Make the button/link go to
http://www.mysite.com/pdffilename.pdf#page=10.
Where 10 is the page
number you want to open."
The following code worked for me in AW6.0:
JumpOutReturn ("", "
http://myURL/pdf/filename.pdf#page=10")
I've changed the domain and filename to protect the guilty.
