Linking to Acrobat PDF file pages or destinations

M

I have a large PDF file with bookmarks and destinations
defined. I want to hyperlink different cells within an
Excel spreadsheet to specific pages (or bookmarks or
destinations) within the PDF file. I can insert a
hyperlink in a cell to reference the file -- no problem.
Now, can I add information to the file reference so that a
specific page or destination is viewed when the PDF file
is opened? Acrobat allows for this capability via the
HTTP protocol,
e.g., "http://host/directory/file.pdf#page=4". This
approach doesn't work in Excel; it does work within IE.
Ideally, both Excel spreadsheet and PDF file are on a
local drive, so the file references do not use HTTP.
Unfortunately, the "#page=n" syntax doesn't work at all
when you use a local file reference.

So... is it possible to insert a PDF file reference and
internal destination into an Excel hyperlink? Thanks to
anyone who can offer a solution.
