how to drill to a specific page in a pdf
Hi Everyone

If I have a compound pdf eg...for CAR

page 1 = sum sales by country
page 2 = sum sales where country eq 'japan';
page 3 = sum sales where country eq 'france';
etc etc

How can I insert links on page 1 to jump to the correct page? In my case pages 2-last page CANNOT be a simple on country page-break, so I cannot use DRILLTHROUGH=XXX. I am using the CAR and Country table just to illustrate. Every page in my report will have a "pdf open" until the last page which is "pdf close".

So on page 1 I need to be able to add a link on country that says if this is line 1 jump to page 2, if this is line 3 jump to page 4.

What I really need to be able to do is insert href anchors... but I can't find anything about that.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Has the issue been resolved? I ran through a quick search and found some documents:

Hello Mabel

No as I specified I cannot use DRILLTHROUGH.

What I want seems very simple. example: On Page 1 create a link that goes to page 5. On Page 7 create a link to Page 4. etc etc

It is a compund pdf. Assume there is no relationship at all between the data on different pages.

How can I do this?
