Specifying PDF Open Parameters in Word Import Scenario

[Wilana_2]

I have created a number of URLs in a Word document that open on a specific page no. in PDF files e.g. http://www.adhc.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/file/0008/228194/HomeModificationGuidelines.pdf#page=4

The parameters function as expected when opened directly in the Word document, however after importing and publishing in RH v9,   the parameterised URLs are ignored completely in the Browser (Internet Explorer).

If I add the URL's via RH directly, they are OK, however I've got to keep the source in Word format.  Does anyone know if this is a limitation in the context of Word imports to RH or am I missing the point somewhere along the way? I've searched high and low for an answer and praying that there might be a solution or workaround!

Many thanks in advance...

I have been advised by Adobe support that currently it is not possible to import a Word Doc. with PDF Open parameters in a URL e.g. http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3 .  I am unsure if this also applies to referencing a named destination in a PDF also.  Adobe engineers are going to investigate further.

Thanks for this Wilana. This behaviour appears to be across the board in IE, FF and Chrome I'm afraid. It also only does this is the PDF is located externally - i.e. outside the project. If the PDF is included as a baggage file, the #page=x parameter works OK.
