I have a customer requesting that we give them a link they can put into an e-mail that will point directly to a heading or bookmark inside a PDF. In other words, when the PDF opens, they want the focus to be at a particular spot, not at the start of the PDF, for this type of link.

Is that doable? It seems simple, but in the fray of other tasks, I can't figure out how to make it work.

(And if anybody knows, the folks on this list should!)
