Can Visio hyperlink to last viewed page?

[john]

Ok, this one has me stumped.

I've got two PDF files, created from within Visio 2003 with Adobe Pro
v7 installed (PDFMaker). Each file has a hyperlink in it to the other
file. Each file has multiple pages.

What I want to happen is for the hyperlink to open the other file to
the last page viewed. What actually happens is that clicking the
hyperlink opens the other file to the first page. (It also closes the
originating PDF file, so only one file is open at a time). Even if I go
into Acrobat and set the PDF document properties to "Last viewed page",
it doesn't work.

If I could either get "Last viewed page" to work or stop the
originating file from closing, I would be happy. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Your pdf file is open by acrobat so it is up to acrobat to do the job. If
you have the full version of acrobat (not only the reader), you can use the
menu command "File=>property=>initial display" and type the number of the
page you want acrobat to open on. Perhaps if you manage the ole object in
visio with code you can do it automatically but i dont know the acrobat api.
