      weird, still cant figure it out. what i have is a local file on the C drive & usually opening in chrome so i added the link & then "#zoom=200" but that doesnt work for me. 

       

      i then thoguht it'd be possible to add a destination to the pdf so xyz.pdf & then i found this support page that says to add:

      <A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#glossary">

       

      but i have no idea where to add that text to. feels like im getting closer to the right answer but so far no dice.

      The open parameters are for Acrobat. For it to work in chrome, Chrome would need to be using the Acrobat plug-in
