Conversion Tools ⇒ Link from a html page into the interiour of a pdf

[Lamp73]

Hi,
I would like to code a hyperlink in a html web page targeting a hyperlink in a pdf, created by the hyperlink package. The pdf should open at the right page. The pdf is on the same domain as the html.

Is there a way?

Kind regards

Where is the relation to LaTeX?

I guess the relation to LaTeX is that the links is supposed to open a target/anchor in the PDF which was created by LaTeX.

There is no package called hyperlink. I assume you mean hyperref.

Someone here reports being able to link to a certain page of a PDF. I tested this and it does not work with my PDF viewing software. Maybe it works with a certain combination of software. But if it does, you got lucky. There is no way to make this happen in a robust way. I can't understand what the possible motivation could be, either.

The pdf is generated by the LaTeX package hyperref.

Thanks for your fast rsponse. Sorry for the false package name. I meant hyperref as you assumed.

My motivation is the same as the one explained in your friendly link. I will try the approach and report the result.

Approach successful!
Example
The html link
<br><a href="http://.../paper.pdf#page.12" target="_blank">Page 12</a>
opens the pdf document at page 12.

Probably this does not even require that the pdf contains links generated by the LaTeX hyperref package. So I really may be in the wrong forum. Sorry, but happy.

Many thanks again

This does not work for me. Again, this is probably very specific to the software you are using (browser and PDF viewer). It would be nice to tell us what that is.

Firefox V. 3.6.13
Adobe Reader V. 9.0.0

Thanks. I don't use Adobe Reader (painfully slow and bloated, with few features, compared to other PDF software), so that's probably the difference. I use either evince or mupdf with mozplugger.
