title: Hyperlink to PDF file page from Word 2013
body: <p>According to different sources one should be able to hyperlink to a specific page in a PDF-file from other applications by appending the suffix: #page=, for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Temp\Examplefile.pdf#page=5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is not working from Word 2013. I have read that it depends on what application and version  installed as PDF-file reader on the client and file extension associations, but I think it is an issue with Word 2013. On the same computer I can successfully hyperlink to a PDF page from an HTML-file by using the following HTML-code and click the link in for example Internet Explorer:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;A HREF="C:\Temp\Examplefile.pdf#page=5" TARGET="_TOP"&gt; PDF-File &lt;/A&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried using Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro as PDF-file reader, but without success. The PDF-file opens but it shows the first page, not the fifth.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to successfully hyperlink to a specific page in a PDF-file from Word 2013? I am also open to solutions involving VBA code.</p>
