Link to a pdf page on web from a chm file

Question

Hello,I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.2.  I'm trying to create a link in a chm file to a specific pdf page using a URL.  The link I am using is http://www.actuarialstandardsboard.org/pdf/exposure/ASOP_No27_second%20exposure_2011.pdf#page=41I put the above line in my chm file.  It appears correctly in the URL project list and shows correctly when I choose Show.  It also apeears to be correct in the HTML code of the page.  However when I create the chm clicking on the link just brings me the start of the pdf file.  After clicking on the link in the chm file and explorer opens, the URL in explorer does not show #page=41.  It ends at.pdf.Am I missing something or does anyone kno whys this is not working?ThanksJohn

Hi thereThat link doesn't even work for me when I paste it into the address bar of my Firefox browser. It does work in IE, but not in Firefox. In Firefox it opens the PDF generically.I tested in a CHM and it did try and link, but it presents a black page. Looks like the correct page, but it's blacked out.CHM files rely upon elements of Internet Explorer to display their content. So perhaps it's something specific to a certain version of Internet Explorer as well as a certain version of the Acrobat Reader.Cheers...
