I'm not sure this is possible. In HTML I can create an anchor with A NAME= "Bookmark" and then from another HTML document, reference the first with: A HREF="first.html#Bookmark" Now I'm working with specs that are PDF, and I can have an HTML index that links to these specs as PDFs, and the OS launches Acrobat Reader as the viewer fine: A HREF="first.pdf" But what I really want the HTML index of is to refer to specific sections of the PDF. The PDF has plenty of book- marks. So, if there are bookmarks in the PDF for: + 2.0 Fruits \__ 2.1 Apples And I'd like to have an HTML hyperlink that will open up this PDF document and start the user reading at the heading of section 2.1, Apples ... Can I do something like this, A HREF="first.pdf#Apples" or perhaps, A HREF="first.pdf#Fruits#Apples" Alternatively, if this isn't possible per se, since this is on an intranet we're all Windows and I could do some IE scripting to launch Acrobat Reader with command-line arguments. Are there command-line arguments that will open a document and place the user at a specific bookmark to start at? Thanks, Derek
