hyperlink to multiple pages word to PDF

[fairminded1]

I am creating a word report that refers to a number of different pages from
the PDF a set of financial statements. I don't want to print just have the
reader click and go to the appropriate page.
Problem, the hyperlinks are set to go to a pdf page but it keeps opening at
the last opened page. How do I change that so each one goes where it should

Which Word version?
Which Acrobat version?
How did you create the PDF files (if you did)?

Are you saying you want hyperlinks in a Word document to go to specific
pages in a PDF document?

I'm going from Word 2003 using Acrobat 8.1, with a Windows XP Pro OS. I did
not create the file, but the application it was produced in appears to be
Arbortext Advanced Print Publisher 9.0.325/w, with PDF Producer Acrobat
Distiller 8.1.0(Windows)

OK, but you haven't answered my last question, and I have added one below:

And, if it is the case, are you planning on converting this Word document to
PDF AND keep those links inact?

Sorry, missed the last question,

1. Yes I want the Word document to go to specific pages in the PDF document.

2. I had not planned to convert the word document into a PDF. This is an
assignment that I am submitting for marking. I was planning to forward the 2
documents one as word the other as PDF.

Would it be easier if I converted the Word into PDF?

Having been down that road before, I can tell you it is no simple task. The
problem is that you must tell the hyperlink to go to a specific"named
destination" in the PDF file. As such, Word hyperlinks cannot do that. You
would need to convert the Word file to a PDf file. Then, in the PDF file you
need to modify the hyperlink to get them to point to the bookmarks in the
other PDF files, which must be set up with bookmarks at the appropriate pages
first.

If this is one time deal, it is by far easier to do the whhole thing by hand
in your PDF files. See the Acrobat help file on creating named destinations
and hyperlinks.

If it is something you will do often, you my want to consider purchasing
