Quick Trick: Linking Directly to Pages in .PDF Files

Did you know it's possible to link directly to individual pages within .PDF files from a web page? 

Imagine you have a 10 page .PDF file on your site and you'd like to direct your readers to page 6 of the .PDF file. 

Creating a link that does just that is easy.

First, type the link to the .PDF document:

http://www.yoursite.com/my_pdf_file.pdf

Next, add the #page= data to the end of your link to specify the page number:
#page=6

The final tag in this example will link directly to page 6 of your .PDF file:
http://www.yoursite.com/my_pdf_file.pdf#page=6
