Is there a way to create a hyperlink in a powerpoint slide that will open a
pdf file and go to a specific page. We can do the hyperlink to open the pdf
file and the pdf file has bookmarks set in it but we would like to go
directly to the page that is bookmarked in the pdf file directly and not go
to the front of the document and then click on the bookmark within the pdf.

Last time I looked at this, you could only make this happen if the PDF was
served up by a web server. In other words, you had to access the PDF via an
http:// link, not a file link.

This may also help; it's a bit old but may still be valid:
