Escaped characters in links to URLs

[Former Community Member]

I want to put a link on my form that takes me to an anchor in an HTML or a specific page in another PDF.

I have tried app.launchURL("(
link to pdf)#page=(
pagenumber)", true) which I have a on a click event on a button, which opens a new browser window and should go to the specified page number, but when I click the button the # in the URL is replaced with %23 which causes the web server involved to give me a 404 error when the file is definitely there. There seems to be no way to prevent escaping of this character.



I need this to link to certain parts of a HTML page or PDF document to save from having to have separate HTML or PDF pages.



I am using Acrobat Pro 7.0.8 and Designer 7.1



Thanks

I believe that this is a JS security feature but if you think it's a bug file it here http://www.adobe.com/misc/bugreport.html
