MYTH: You can't link to PDFs
It seems to be a widely held myth that you can't link to PDFs in the same way you can in HTML. To review, HTML allows linking to a named destination but the author has to put an anchor in the HTML (which most people don't do). PDFs (or at least Adobe Reader / Acrobat) do have link accessibity which is more powerful than HTML:
- You can link to a named destination (e.g. http://mydocs/doc.pdf#nameddest=Chapter6)
- You can link to a specific page in a PDF (e.g. http://mydocs/doc.pdf#page=3)
- You can link to a specific view of a page (e.g. http://mydocs/doc.pdf#page=3&zoom=200,250,100)
