open a pdf to an exact page, from MS word

[jackal63]

Apparently you can open a .pdf file from a web page, to a specific page in the document by writing the link ..

<a href=&quot;my_pdf.pdf#page=7&quot;>

and this should open the pdf to page 7 automatically, from what I've read, elsewhere on the internet. When I tried to include a link from MS Word to a pdf in this manner, I right clicked on the text I wanted to hyperlink, selected hyperlink and entered &quot;my_pdf.pdf#page=7&quot; which is a file in the same directory as the MS word file. When I click on this link in Word, the .pdf opens, but it opens to the first page, not the 7th page, like I want it to.

Does anybody have any suggestions about what I'm doing wrong here?

You cannot do this unless you have a webserver running. Acrobat sends a command to a web server to send the data needed for your particular page. Unfortunately, this does not work on local files. The '#page=7' is ignored on your computer.
