    One way to do it would be to use a web object and open an html document with links in it to your pdf e.g. -

    <a href="pdf.pdf#page=3">Go straight to page 3 </a>

    p.s. Put the html and the pdf in the docs folder so there are no referencing problems.

    i was looking at this the other day, but i had an extra angle ... what if the user of my project didnt have a pdf reader installed ?

    so, i went and looked at FoxIt reader, there is a portable version of that, and the latest version allows command line parameters to not only open at a specified page, but it will also open it and make no changes to the systems default pdf reader setting.

    so u can just use File.Run, and in the parameters specify file, page and no-default and viola, nice and easy
