I'm following the instructions at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317300.php but I can not get a PDF to open on a specific page. The instructions are for Acrobat 7 and the PDF file was made with Acrobat 9 on a Mac. Maybe this is no longer a feature?
Link from an HTML page to a specific page in PDF file

Thanks Merlin,
That link should open on page 5, right? It opens on page 1 for me. Tested on Safari 5.0.3 and Firefox 3.6.13

Yes, it works fine for me…

Any one else have a suggestion? Does Merlin's link open on page 5 for other Mac users?

I don't know if anyone is still interested in this but I just tried the link and it did NOT open the pdf to page 5 on Mac Safari 5.0.5 yet it did in IE on Windows. I wanted to use this trick but seems that it only works for Windows. Will have to some research on opening a PDF file to a set destination. My understanding is that this may accomplish the same thing??

Not so surprising, and Adobe includes this in the documentation:
"The parameters for URLs are supported by most browsers, and can be used when opening PDF documents pro grammatically."
It is pretty hard to keep an application advanced web link system working with all of the different web servers, web browsers, and style sheets.
The alternative is to use "gopher" and "ftp" to find and download web pages.

Baxter, when you opened the file on the Mac, did it open in Preview?
You may want to look that document over.
.
For the kit-n-kaboodle of Acrobat docs go to:
.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/documentation.php
.
For the current (version 9.x), posted Open Parameters document go to:
.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/documentation.php
.
Do a web search on "pdf open parameters" for links to Acrobat 6, 7, 8 associated Open Parameters documents. Should you compare/contrast them all you'll observe no substative changes.

Be well...
