How to link to a page in a PDF
I am a strong believer in using pdf’s for publishing certain on-line material. However, there are many such documents hastily uploaded to websites which are so difficult to navigate that they are only any use when printed and used off-line. The key to their on-screen usefulness is to use internal links as much as possible as well as the built in functionality of bookmarks which is actually the default export option from MS Word if you also own a copy of Acrobat.
Yet another really simple method, rarely used, is to link to particular page of a pdf document from outside of the document on a website. And this is surprisingly easy to achieve and doesn’t require any further customisation of the pdf. Therefore you can link to pages in anyone’s pdf.
Simply create a web page link that looks like this:
<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/yourdocument.pdf#page=34">link text</a>.
The user will be taken unsurprisingly to page 34 of the document.
