To open a stand-alone PDF at the default opening page, use the following 
hypertext marker:
message openfile file.pdf

Additional link/bookmark options are available with the 
FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers add-on through custom markers -- see 
examples at "Define focused links to external PDFs or help files",
