1. Re: linking to a page in another pdf
Eugene Tyson Jul 24, 2014 4:33 AM (in response to Steve Kelly)Indeed it is
Select your text and open the hyperlink panel (Window>Interactive>Hyperlinks)
In the Hyperlink Window in the panel insert the location of the PDF on the internet (copying the url is usually the best way)
For example:
If you suffix the link with
#page=3
It will open on that page!
Happy InDesigning!

3. Re: linking to a page in another pdf
Steve Kelly Jul 24, 2014 4:58 AM (in response to Eugene Tyson)Thanks Eugene, that is almost what I want
I found that I had to use - '/#page=3' to make that work.
I was also hoping that it would open the file in acrobat as opposed to a web browser though, am I doing something wrong?

Eugene Tyson Jul 24, 2014 5:33 AM (in response to Steve Kelly)That will depend on the user settings, and what their default application for opening PDFs is - as it's working through a web address, some people have their web browser open the pdf, others will have it set to open in Acrobat, or another PDF reader.

6. Re: linking to a page in another pdf
Doc Maik Jul 24, 2014 8:24 AM (in response to Eugene Tyson)Bad solution, as it only works in browsers. The thread starter didn't ask for hyperlinks and browser navigation.
@Steve Kelly: if you need it to work for two PDFs on any data storage device, being in the same folder, then: no. Indesign can't do that, only Acrobat.

Steve Kelly Jul 24, 2014 9:28 AM (in response to Eugene Tyson)Nothing is ever straight forward is it
So how can I do that in Acrobat, and use no browser nav?
Thanks for your help guys

Doc Maik Jul 25, 2014 6:39 AM (in response to Steve Kelly)Create a hyperlink, similar to Indesign, but in Acrobat you can select an option to "Go to page in document" and then give the page number. Very arduous, but working.
If you make a master PDF, you can copy the hyperlinks in groups over to new PDFs.
