Looks like we're talking about different things. I'm talking about creating an addin application based on Visual C ++, you are talking about working with Acrobat Reader as a user.

Ok, got it.

Are you trying to create a javascript that will provide a user with a link that when you click on it it will jump to a designated page inside the same PDF document?

OR,

Are you trying to embedd a URL in the PDF document, that when the user clicks on it, it will redirect to a webpage outside of the document and viewed in a default browser?
