html link to PDF anchor

[serrasalmus]

Can I use something similar to

<a href="test.htm#part3">go to part 3</a>

for a pdf document?
So to create a link to opens PDF document at a certain page?

Thanks

Here is a function that I wrote (not really much of a function, because you could easily just do it in html, but then it requires more copying and pasting) which helps me load a specific page of a PDF file.

<!-- <script type="text/javascript">

function pagechange(page)
{
var beforepage="../../desiredfile.pdf#page="
self.location.href=beforepage + page;
}

</script> -->

Then just create links for it:

<a href="#" onClick="pagechange(1)">1</a> //page 1 of PDF file
<a href="#" onClick="pagechange(2)">2</a> //page 2 of PDF file
<a href="#" onClick="pagechange(3)">3</a> //page 3 of PDF file
<a href="#" onClick="pagechange(4)">4</a> //page 4 of PDF file
<a href="#" onClick="pagechange(5)">5</a> //page 5 of PDF file

and of course you should probably make it load in a seperate window/frame, so make sure to use the target if you don't want to change the active window.

R u trying to create anchor within the pdf document and link it from html?

U can define a destination and then create bookmark for it. You should then be able to link from html to the certain point of the pdf document.

I believe I saw something like this which can be used. However, this thread is 2 years old.

To make this work, in Adobe Acrobat Professional (I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro) create a 'Destination link' --this is like bookmarking a page. In Adobe Acrobat Pro, go to 'View > Navigation Panels > Destinations.' In the Destinations panel, go to the upper left and click the wheel-like icon and select the 'New Destination' option. Name your Destination -- again, this is like your bookmark that you will anchor to.

After setting your destination, save your changes in the PDF. Upload the PDF. You can now anchor to your saved destination/bookmark by adding '#' at the end of your link and your destination name.

Example: http://www.sitename.com/abc/filename...estinationname
