Destinations

[Guest]

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.)

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.

When linking to a document on a network drive? How? I tried appending '#page=x', where x= the desired page number, to the end of the link, but the document still opens to the first page

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.

Destinations work to exactly the same degree as page numbers. Or don't work. One important limitation is that they don't work with local file URLs.
