Links to pages in pdf files.

RedBlue
Hello Everybody,

Is there a way to insert in a note a link to a page in a pdf file from the collection?
I tried inserting "Zotero://attachment/16383/myarticle.pdf#page=5", but Zotero could not find the file.
Instead just Zotero://attachment/16383/ works fine by opening the requested pdf. Zotero://attachment/16383/#page=5 does not work either:(
(for paged pdf links see http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=317300&sliceId=1)

Ideally a shortcut would be a marvelous solution. For instance while reading a pdf file from the collection by pressing a shrotkey a link to current pdf page be inserted in the last active note.
What do you thing of the feature?
Does anybody know a way to implement this??

(Also it would be nice if links would work directly from RTF notes, and not just from the reports.)

Many many thanks.

    The page you link to says the following:
    If you use URLS containing local hard drive addresses (c:\folder\), then you cannot link to page numbers or set destinations. With Adobe Acrobat 7.0 products, a link to a page number only works if you use HTTP or HTTPS locations.
    So this is not a Zotero limitation.

    When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch using the following syntax:
    <path to Acrobat> /A "<open parameter>=OpenActions" "<path to PDF file>"

    For example:
    Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000=OpenActions" "C:\example.pdf"

    It should work this way.
