To Link to a Page Number in the Target PDF
1. In Arbortext Editor, choose > and choose Browse the Web in the Resource Manager.
If you are working in a non-DITA document, the menu option will be > , followed by Web.
2. Insert a URL that specifies the PDF file (the URL must include.pdf) followed by #page= and the page number (for example, mydoc.pdf#page=30).
3. Click the Insert button.
To Link to a Named Destination in the Target PDF
If the target is on an element that is also included in the table of contents, such as a Title tag, the link will target the table of contents instead of the location in the document. The two anchors have the same name, and only the first is recognized.
1. In the target document, select the element that will be the target of the link and give it an ID attribute, for example mytarget.
If you are working in a non-DITA document, you can also use > to insert the ID.
2. In the source document, choose > and choose Browse the Web in the Resource Manager.
If you are working in a non-DITA document, the menu option will be > , followed by Web.
3. Insert a URL that specifies the PDF file (the URL must include.pdf) followed by #nameddest= and the link target name (for example, mydoc.pdf#nameddest=mytarget).
4. Click the Insert button.
