LaTeX hyperref package: Opening a target PDF at a specific page

Does anyone know if it is possible to employ the LaTeX hyperref package to open a target PDf at a specific page? I have tried using the \href{FILENAME#page=XX}{LINK_TEXT} command, where XX is the target page number, but no dice. The file iteself opens, but it always starts out at the first page. The idea being that I have a large index which is a separate document; each item in the index has a link to the target document along with the page number.

Perhaps I am using the wrong linking macro?

Any ideas?

Solution

  • If all the documents are created using pdfLatex, you should be able to do what you want by:

    \href{filename#page.xx}{link text}

    Note the . instead of = after page.
