Can I insert a hyperlink in a form that will take the user to a specific object in a separate pdf?

I have a 18 page checklist form that corresponds with a 97 page instruction manual. Is it possible to add hyperlinks into the form that will jump the user to a specific page in the other document? Is it possible/easier to do it with the instruction manual as a Word doc or PDF?

I'd welcome any alternatives that might come to your mind also!

I'm using Acrobat DC Pro.

Thank you!

Yes, you can link to a specific page in another file. Create the link and set its action to "Go to a page view".

Then open the other file, scroll to the point you want to link to and then click the Set Link button in the floating window.

Awesome!! You're the best! Follow up question: It wants to close the form when I click on a link. Is there a setting I need to adjust so both docs remain open?

Yes. After creating the link in the method described above right-click it and select Properties, then Actions, then Edit the current action and change its "Open in" setting to "New Window".
