I am using the most recent version of acrobat pro. I am trying to create a hyperlink to a specific page in another pdf-file.

I can add a link to another pdf-file but I do not have the "Options" tab that would allow me to have my link point to a specific page in another pdf. How can I still link to a specific page in another pfd file?

Use the "Go to a page view" action, instead of "Open a file". Then a floating window will appear with a "Set Link" button. Open the other (PDF) file, scroll to the desired location and then click that button. If you edit the link's Properties after doing that you will see the option you're looking for.

How are you creating the link, exactly? What tool are you using, and what options are you selecting when using it?

I open the pdf-file that I want to insert the hyperlink in, I choose "Edit", I then go "Link" (add or edit link), I then select the text I want to add the hyperlink to, I then choose "Open a file", I select the file I want to link to, then I click on "New window". I then only can click "OK", which inserts a hyperlink to the document but not to the specific page.
