How do I link a button to a specific page in my PDF document?

Dear Lori,

I want to add this action to a button: Go To PageX. But the only page transition that works from the "Execute a Menu Item" list is Next, Previous, First or Last pages. How do I designate a specific page number in the document?

Lori responds,

Hi Kari,

One option is to use "Go to a page view" action (Figure 1).

Figure 1.

You'll be prompted to go to the page & zoom you want for the button action (Figure 2) and you will end up with an action similar to the one in Figure 3.

If you need to edit this link — select "Go to a page in this document" and select Edit. You will be prompted to modify the page and/or zoom characteristics of the action (Figure 4).
