Jump to specific bookmark upon opening PDF document

Here's the bone that you wanted thrown....Try using a "Named Destination" See the PDF Open Parameters documentation and/or Acrobat Help for more information on how to set this up.

Thanks, Sabian. I discovered this technique does not work with a "local" URL--using a hyperlink to open the document from a local network share.

Acrobat SDK example:

<http://example.org/doc.pdf#Chapter6> (where Chapter6 is a destination in the document)

My approach:

File:///\\server\share\mydocument.pdf#Chapter6 (this doesn't work)

I will continue to work through the Developer SDK to become more familiar with the Acrobat object model, methods and properties with the idea of manipulating the Acrobat ActiveX component through VBA from within Miocrosoft Access. I'm thinking that's the best way, ultimately.
