How to access name destination with spaces?

For ex: My named destination in pdf file is 'About This'.

I've the same problem but I can't get around it because the PDFs I have to open are predefined.

I must use command line to open PDF's in MS Edge.

E.g.:

msedge <path of pdf>#nameddest="page sub 3"&toolbar=1&navpanes=1&view=FitH&view=FitL

Spaces are forbidden in a URL. Try %20 ( URL encoding of space). Might work, but it's entirely up to Microsoft what happens, and another browser might do something else.

Don't use spaces and special characters like # &

What is this? A command line? A URL? A Link in a PDF? Something else?

Safest I think is to make your named destinations without spaces!
