Destinations

I have Acrobat Reader DC 18.011.20040. I am trying to link to a specific page in a PDF stored on a network drive. Destinations would be ideal- but don't seem to exist in this product. I've checked the View->Show->Navigation Panes, and 'destinations' isn't listed. Is there some way that I can make destinations in PDFs with this product, some other product that I need, or some other way to link to a location within a PDF stored on a network drive? (note: uploading the docs to the internet is not an option.)

Correct answer

Read this:

Literally tells me to append #page=x, where x is the desired page number, to the end of the URL. Wound up hyperlinking to an html document that operates as a pass-through to the core link so IE would open the link instead of Acrobat proper. It's a waste, but it gets the job done.

With Adobe Acrobat you can add destinations, not Acrobat Reader.

Any way to link to a page without paying a monthly subscription fee for a product?

You can link to a page number.
