Linking a Specific Page in a PDF file
I'm trying to link an online newsletter teaser to the actual newsletter which is a PDF file. I hosted the PDF on our website and used the "nameoffile.pdf#page=3" if I wanted to link to the third page of the document. It is working like a charm if the person is using Firefox as their browser, but it is not working at all in Internet Explorer. Anyone have any ideas on how to link to a specific page in a PDF file and have it work in Internet Explorer?

The #page=n method only works if the PDF is opened within the browser.
If it is not opening within the browser, or not opening period, I recommend you check out the article below.

Hi Jamie,
Breaking your PDF into separate files is the only option.
Add a link on the top and bottom of each PDF that says
click here to read the entire newsletter, leading to the PDF
that has all pages

I agree with Victor.
Having the PDF available in separate pages is the only way I can think of to accomplish with the least amount of hick-ups... but then again this isn't something I deal with on a regular basis.
Good luck!
