I'm trying to add a hyperlink to a FM file that will open a PDF to a specified phrase.

I've successfully added #page=x (x=desired page number) to open a PDF to a sepcific page number, but I'm unable to open a PDF to a desired word or phrase via an external hyperlink.

I've tried the comment command to no avail.

Any thoughts?

Are you trying to go to a known locaion in a PDF or are you expecting the open action in the PDF to do a search for the specified phrase when it is opened (i.e. you don't know exactly where it is in the destination PDF)?

I'm trying to go to a known location within a PDF. I would like to link directly to a word or phrase that is located near the botto of a page. Currently, I have it so the link opens the PDF at a specific page. However, the information I would like the redader to see is at the bottom of the page. Instead of having them scroll down, I would like the info. to be highlighted and located at the top of the screen.

How are the destinations created in the target PDF? Are they already inserted or will you be adding them? With FM, any hyperlink that jumps to a PDF gets some content automatically prepended to a link name used in a marker. You either need to add this info to the destination in the PDF or use a tool like MicroType's TimeSavers (see http://microtype.com/TimeSavers.html) to strip off FM's default actions.
