I need to start a pdf at a configurable page number. Is there a command line syntax that will allow me to use the "go to page" feature while the pdf is opening.

I currently am using acrobat 7.0 professional, but have many users that only have acrobat reader 7. OS is Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro operating on a Windows network.

I have found that I can start acrobat pointed at a specific pdf file from within a word macro using a shell command, but have not been able to trigger the "go to page" functionality.

Is it possible?

Ron
