Hello all,

I am creating links in HTML pages to PDF documents and the documents open in the web browser. The links to the PDFs contain pointers to specific page numbers (e.g., <http://www.mydomain.com/docname.pdf#page=5)>. The first time I use the link, it works fine - opens to page 5 no problem. If I then scroll through the document and try the link again, it reopens the PDF to the last viewed page and not to page 5 as I intend it to do.

In Reader 8, I have disabled the Document preference "Restore last view settings when reopening documents." This allows the documnent to work properly when opened in reader, however, not in the browser. In the browser it still opens to the last viewed page. Is there any way to alter how the browser plug-in handles this activity?

Thanks.
