Link to Specific Location within Form

Does Adobe Acrobat provide the ability to directly link within the document to a specific item? I've been trying to leverage destinations, but it appears that this redirects me to a page, not the specific text that I would like to have the view positioned around. Is this possible to achieve? Thanks.

Destinations should work. The idea is that you set up the zoom and position and then create the named destination, and create a link using that destination. If that's what you're doing and it's not working, It would be helpful to see the PDF and know which PDF viewer you're using.

George,

Thanks for the quick reply. It appears that the issue is because the item I'm tying to link to is close to the beginning of a new page. Below is an example of my issue. Please don't judge me too much on how terrible the pdf looks! The first button on page 1 works and pushes you down to the top of page two. However the second link on the first page moves you to the third page although I tried to set the destination on page 2, it still puts it on page 3.

In the screenshot below you see that I'm on page two. I'm trying to set the destination to this text. However when I line up that text to the top of the view, it claims that I'm on page 3 and then sets my destination to page three, not page two where my text is. Any thoughts?
