Open a specific pdf page on Access

[claudio.labarbera]

Hello!



I want to create for each record I'm introducing in my database a link to open a specific page of a pdf file I stored in a folder.

Thanks to help me.

Good morning!

Will there only be one linked document?

Yes, the document is only one but according to the record I have to link to a specific page of the file.

Well I can help you with the first part of that - not sure about linking to a specific page though.

Add a field to your table for example "Document", field type should be attachment. Then open your form in design view and drag that new field into the form. Go to form view and double click the new field - a pop up box will come up, click Add and find your related document. Once you have attached it the next time you want to view that document, just click the attachment and then "open".

You can also make the field type a hyperlink, follow the same basic instructions, and in form view, right click on the hyperlinked field and select your file. :-)

Hope this helps.

Thanks Gina for your support. Pratically I don't want to upload the file (otherwise the database will be huge) but add a command to open a file according to a defined path and, if possible, open directly on a specific page.
With hyperlink I can add a link to open the complete file....I suppose I have to create a macro to specify the page.

Let's see....thanks again!!!!

I usually prefer Hyperlink for this.

The only way I know of to open a PDF at a particular page is to automate Adobe Acrobat via VBA.
