Acrobat (reader): to open at a specific page number via command line on Windows

Question

I am running a Windows batch file to convert a document to PDFand on the last line of the batch file I have:

Acrobat "%1.pdf"

This opens the produced PDFfile just fine but I also wish to be able to open the PDFfile at some specific page of the document.

So how to extend the command that I am using above to force the PDFfile to open at a desired page number?

Thanks a lot...

Answer 1

Use the command line switch /A:

Acrobat /A "page=<pagenum>" %1.pdf

Replace with whatever page you like to be displayed. For additional open parameters, please refer to Adobe's partner documentation:

Good luck!

Answer 2

use

Acrobat /A "page=3" "%1.pdf"

AFAIK the above works in Acrobat 7 and up (maybe even earlier version but not sure).
