No previous message | Next message →
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!)

One note, the method only works if you have Adobe Reader configured to open the PDF in the browser. Screen reader users should have Adobe Reader configured to open in the stand-alone reader.
