It is possible to add a page action to the opening page of a PDF, and
set=20
that action to be a web link. In Acrobat 6 or higher, display the Pages=20
panel (previously called Thumbnails), right click the first page, and
then=20
click the Actions tab; add a "Page Open: Open a web link" action.

Notice that when such a PDF is displayed in recent versions of=20
Acrobat/Reader, a security message will be shown, indicating that the
PDF=20
is trying to open a web site (the action can be blocked or allowed; the
web=20
site can be "learned" as a valid one).

If the pdf file is accessed through a web site, another option
altogether=20
is to set up an HTML file whose purpose is to redirect the browser to a=20
different address, and name it as file with a .pdf extension.

For example, the http://www.microtype.com/Training.pdf file is a text
file=20
with the following content:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=3D"refresh" content=3D"1;=20
URL=3Dhttp://www.microtype.com/training.html">
</head>

In this case, redirection is transparent; Acrobat/Reader is not even=20
opened, when the "pdf" file link is clicked in a browser. However, if
such=20
a file is opened locally (eg by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer),

Acrobat/Reader will try to open the file as PDF file and an error
message=20
will be displayed, indicating that this is not a valid PDF file.=20

Subject: Linking from an HTML page to a destination in a PDF file

I have a request to establish links from an HTML document on my
company's web site to a specific topic within a PDF file produced via
FrameMaker. Has anyone done this before?

=20

The HTML page summarizes changes in a recent release and references
about 100 individual features. Each feature has a number and those
numbers appear in the PDF file, but each number appears at least three
times and, in some cases, more often. In only one place is the actual
text they are wanting to link to.

=20

Plus, the (PDF) release document is still changing.

=20

I can think of ways to do this by pulling the HTML document into
FrameMaker and setting up the links there, then creating HTML (or PDF)
output, but I can't think of a good way to do exactly what I'm asked to
do other than linking to specific page numbers, which would be
time-consuming to set up and difficult to maintain.

=20

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

=20
