I am trying to open a local pdf file at a bookmark from Visual Basic
and have not found a method that seems to work.  I have tried the
following:

1) Using ShellExecute.  This seems to work as long as I am opening a
remote file.  If the file is local, it opens to the first page.  I
cannot seem to navigate to the bookmark programmatically.

2) Using Pdf.LoadFile.  I am using the version of the ocx file from
version 4.0.  When I execute LoadFile, Acrobat initializes, but it
never displays the file.  (I don't know what happens because I don't
get an error message.  However, if I print the return value, it is
-1.)  This may be pointless because I don't see a method for
navigating to a bookmark once I load the file.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve Bray

The supported method (if you are using Acrobat Reader) is to use DDE.
