Link HTML files or directly reference to specific pages / bookmarks in a PDF file

Dear Sir

Please can you please tell me, or publish an article on your website, concerning a popular technical request for displaying PDF files with the Acrobat Viewer.
Is it possible to call a PDF file from a HTML file (or just directly execute a PDF file, calling the Acrobat PDF Viewer) and directly goto a specific page or bookmark within the PDF file?

I expect that some argument must be passed to the PDF Viewer, such as:

http://www.mysite.com/test.pdf#Page23

or (double-clicking the PDF file to call the Acrobat Reader)

test.pdf#Bookmark50

This above script I've stated does not function. Please can you advise on the correct method.

PS I have read Acro tip # 33 and 5 on your website, but these address Named Destinations, and not bookmarks.

I hope this topic will provide useful to other users visiting the forum

Yours faithfully

JMG
