Hyperlink to a pdf page or a pdf destination

First I copy the relevant information; then I shall try it

Open a PDF file to a specific page

To target an HTML link to a specific page in a PDF file, add #page=[page number] to the end of the link's URL.

For example, this HTML tag opens page 4 of a PDF file named myfile.pdf:

<a href = "http;//www.example.com/myfile.pdf#page=4">

Note: If you use UNC server locations (\\servername\folder) in a link, set the link to open to a set destination using the procedure in the following section. If you use URLs containing local hard drive addresses (c:\folder\), you cannot link to page numbers or set destinations. With Adobe Acrobat 7.0 products, a link to a page number works only if you use HTTP or HTTPS locations. UNC server locations will only work if you use the set destinations method outlined in the following section of this document.

Page 105 of the book, HTML5 and CSS3 for Dummies, 'shows Spanning rows and columns' heading. The following code should take you there.

Open a PDF file to a set destination

A destination is the end point of a link represented by text in the Destinations tab. Destinations enable you to set navigation paths across a collection of Adobe PDF documents. Linking to a destination is recommended when linking across documents because, unlike a link to a page, a link to a destination is not affected by the addition or deletion of pages within the target document.

To set a destination in Acrobat 7.0 (Professional or Standard):

1. Set the Zoom and page location to the way you want it on the screen.
2. Select View > Navigation Tabs > Destinations to open the Destinations tab.
3. Select Options > New Destination from the Destinations tab.
4. Give the destination a name.
5. Create an HTML link that points to this destination by adding #[destination name] to the end of the links URL.

For example, this HTML tag opens a destination named "glossary" in a PDF file named myfile.pdf:

<a href="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#glossary">

For some reason, I had problem making the listed links work; but now they all do.

I did not use the Zoom that was suggested in Step 1 of the instructions above.
