I would like to open a PDF file at named destination using WinForms (C#). Here is my code:
System.Diagnostics.Process myProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "Acrobat.exe";
myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "/A \"nameddest=Test2=OpenActions\" C:\\example.pdf";
myProcess.Start();
It always opens the file at page 1 even having the destination Test2 at page # 10. It basically ignores the destination parameter. However if I use another parameter like the page number it works fine. For example:
myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "/A \"page=5=OpenActions\" C:\\example.pdf";
will always open the PDF document at page 5.
Thanks in advance for your help
I use the following code:
string strNamedDestination = "MyNamedDestination"; // Must be defined in PDF file.
string strFilePath = "MyFilePath.pdf";
string strParams = " /n /A \"pagemode=bookmarks&nameddest=" + strNamedDestination + "\" \"" + strFilePath + "\"";
Process.Start("AcroRd32.exe", strParams);
Note the "/n" inside the params. It makes Adobe to always open a new document. Otherwise, if the document was already opened, it doesn't move it to the right Named Destination. It depends on the behaviour you want for your application.
