How can I link to a local PDF and have it launch on a specific page?

Hey People,
I've searched quite a bit over this and I'm sure it used to work.
I've got a Word document that I'm using as an index to a whole bunch of PDFs.  The PDFs are in the same folder (and subfolders) as the Word document.
I've tried using the hyperlink method of appending #page=2 to the link, but it only ever opens on the first page.
There doesn't seem to be anyway to use the command line /A "page=s" "path/to/file.pdf" method.
I just want to have a word document which can open PDFs at a specific page, all from a local file system.
Any ideas?  I'm sure this used to work!
I've tried Acrobat/Reader v8 and v9.
Thanks
Craig

Hi Craig,
When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch with the following syntax:
<Acrobat path> /A "<parameter>=<value>" "<PDF path>"
For example:
Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000" "C:\example.pdf"
Regards,
Rave

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

  • How can I delete messages on phone(5c)and have them simultaneously be deleted on computer

    how can I synchronize deleting messages on iPhone 5c and my computer MacBook Pro (10.7.5)

    Hi,
    First off.
    The "Sync" as Apple calls it is only "Display on all Devices" and nothing more.
    Deleting it on one device will not delete it on another.
    On the Mac the iMessages are stored in ~/Library/Messages in file called chat.db with a couple of supporting database items alongside.
    If you "close"  or remove the chat in the list in the Messages window (the x when you mouse over the name and pic) then the iMessage will "return" as an "Aid Memoire" to the previous conversation.
    This is local on your Mac and is nothing to do with any 'sync' over the iMessages servers.
    The longest time I have experienced was using my iPhone on a hotel WiFi on a Friday evening away form home and picking up those same iMessage on Sunday evening when I turned my Mac on.
    The iMessages servers "push" the iMessages to the devices it thinks are Registered.
    However this only happens once.  When the device has the iMessages the servers stop sending it.
    This is to stop what you seem to describe - the endless attempt to delete the same iMessages.
    It is more likely you are talking about the "history" feature.

    I'm new to Mac book.  Using Pages I have written 49 chapters of a novel.  Can anyone tell me in simple terms how to put them into one document and have Pages number them?   I am lost.

    Hello, Lost! Yes you are a bit; try the Pages forum here; https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
    While I do use Pages, I don't know the answer to that one, but I'm sure you'll soon get help in the right forum.

  • How can i send email from my ipad and have it go to my home computer

    When recently travelling I tried to send emails home but often they came back into my ipad inbox but never went to the home computer. How can I get them to load at home?

    If your iPad settings for email do not remove the mail from the server your computer will retrieve the mail when you send it to yourself.
    On your iPad
    Settings --> Account --> Advanced --> Delete Mail from Server --> Never
    I always have my Mail set this way on my iPad. This way I let my computer retrieve and archive email and delete items from the server.

  • How can I play video on my iPhone and have it display on my iMac?

    Hello Kailua,
    I know that you can mirror you iPhone's display onto a Apple TV, as can you with the Mac, but I do not think you can mirror your iPhone to your iMac.

  • How do I enter text onto a PDF and have it automatically update in an Indesign file?

    I am trying to enter text into an application form and then include the updated application into an extended indesign file.  I would like to be able to change elements of the application, which would then automatically update in the Indesign file.  I am having trouble doing this.

    I received an application in PDF and want to fill it out with my personal text, but I would also like to include supplemental documents with the application and thus have placed the PDF and the other documents it into an Indesign file.  If I were to change some portion of the personal text in the PDF, it would be great if it could automatically update in the Indesign file.  How else would you suggest I go about doing this?
    Thanks!

  • How can I install only OS on SSD and have the HDD only for apps?

    I am looking to buy an SSD and install it in my CD area of the macbook pro with an adapter. But I wanted to know if it's possible to instal only my OS on the SSD and have the HDD only for Apps/Software....Is this possible and if so how can I do this?

    I suppose you could do this by just installing Mountain Lion onto your SSD, and then move your applications folder and documents to the HDD.
    But I would be wary of doing this because:
    It seems like it would defeat the purpose of having a SSD, that is to make your computer fast. The computer would have to switch back and forth between the SSD and the HDD. Sounds like that would unnecessarily complicate things.
    I like to keep things simple. I think the software engineers at Apple know what they are doing and I just keep things installed simply and the way they intend them. Then they seem to work. I put a SSD in my laptop about a year ago and it works perfectly. I haven't had a problem with my computer in a very, very long time.
    This doesn't mean that you can't have a lot of files stored on a secondary drive somewhere, whether it is on an internal or external drive. But I'd keep the system software and apps where they belong, on the drive where the installer puts them.
    And this doesn't mean that you can't try your plan and see how it works.

  • If I have a list of Vimeo videos on a webpage, how can I use just one video frame and have all videos play in that one frame?

    I am creating a page with a list of Vimeo video links. I want to have only one video frame on the page. So no matter which video link a user clicks on, the chosen video needs to play in that one video frame on the page. How do I do this in Muse?
    Thanks.

    You can use composition widget for this. Insert the video details in trigger container and then insert that corresponding vimeo video widget in that specific target container. So It would work like, users will click on different video buttons but the actual video will play on same frame which is actually a target container of composition.
    The ID that we use for vimeo widget cannot be used for different videos on same time , because every video shares its own ID and url. But you can surely try the above.
    Thanks,

  • How can i click on an email attachment and have it appear in a new tab?

    I used to be able to see any attached pic by simply clicking on the image in the bottom of an email, then the image would appear in a new tab. For some unknown reason, that is now not happening and I can't figure out how to get it back?

    Finder -> Preferences -> General -> uncheck "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows"

  • How can I put content on the AppleTV and have it STAY there??

    I want to put movies on the AppleTV and delete them from my computer. I want the movies to be persistently on the AppleTV How do I do that?

    Most important thing to realise is that AppleTV cannot be regarded as a storage or backup device - once content is on AppleTv you cannot get it back to your computer.
    Assuming you have a backup copy of a movie elsewhere in case your AppleTV fails or needs a factory restore you could either:
    - Show the files location using a right click on it in iTunes and delete it from the laptop drive directly but not delete the entry from iTunes. (Not ideal but apparently works)
    - Keep larger files on an external drive and change iTunes Preferences not to import to the main library - when the drive is connected you will be able to add new entries to iTunes and synce them. When disconnected iTunes won't delete them from AppleTV as again there's still an entry in the library, just that the file isn't available.
    These are workarounds - it's a shame you can't just drag and drop media to AppleTV manually rather than having to sync things.

  • How can i create a playlist in iTunes and have the playlist show up on iPhone 5

    I painstakingly spent a considerable amout of time creating a playlist in iTunes on Windows, and now when I sync my iPhone, and open the Music app, I do not see the playlist at all.  When I select 'On this device' in iTunes, I can see the playlist listed, but a large number of the songs are greyed out, and do not play in iTunes.  These are simply songs I selected from my iTunes library into an iTunes playlist, and I sync'ed my iPhone saying transfer only selected playlists, etc, and now the playlist does NOT show up on the iPhone.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I have no use for iTunes Match and know little about it - but do you not need a computer in order to subscribe to iTunes Match? From where would the OP upload his music?
