Use a hyperlink as normal, for the page on the pdf, just use...

yourfile..pdf#page=24

will open it to page 24...

Can You explain the code please..I used like
<a href="readme.pdf#page=10">click</a>
After clicking the link a page opened.but it not in PDF format.

What happens when you do click on the link you create? If its not opening it like a PDF, are you sure that the system you're doing this on has adobe reader installed as the default program for opening a pdf file?

Yes Adobe reader is installed.Can I modify the following code?It is to open a PDF file on adobe reader.Is it possible to specify the page number on this script.
<?php

header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
$pdfFile="readme.pdf";

$pdf=@readfile($pdfFile);

?>
I tried like this.

$pdfFile="readme.pdf#page=24";

It showing an error message and not opening.

If you're setting the PDF file as a variable in the script, you'll have to call that in the link... Something like this

<a href="http://<?php echo $pdfFile; ?>">Click Here</a>

I had used the following code.

<?php

header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
$pdfFile="readme.pdf#page=10";

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>

<a href="http://<?php echo $pdfFile; ?>">Click Here</a>

</body>
</html>

But it showing an alert like following

File does not begin with '%PDF-'

After clicking alert showing a black screen..

can u please send me the entire code?

Thanks...

Change to this....

<?php


$pdfFile="Handbook.pdf#page=6";


?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>

<a href="<?php echo $pdfFile; ?>">Click Here</a>

</body>
</html>

Sorry, Handbook.pdf was my test file... change that to your file... your line of

header("Content-Type: application /pdf");

was conflicting the process and confusing the server...
