Hello all,

Is there a way to write js for a bookmark that goes to a page that does not currently exist?

For example, I have a 20 page pdf document. We have FileMaker Pro that can 'append' to a PDF additional pages. So when FileMaker pro appends two new pages (bringing us up to 22 pages), I'd like to have 2 'existing' bookmarks in the original 20 page pdf document that will, when clicked, go to page 21 and 22 respectfully.

Is this possible and would anyone have the JS I would put into that bookmark?

Thank you in advance!!

The JavaScript would be:

// Go to page 21
pageNum = 20;


If there are fewer than 21 pages, it will go to the last page. If you want to avoid this, you could do something like:

// Go to page 21 if there are at least 21 pages
if (numPages > 20) pageNum = 20;
