Navigating within a PDF document.

I have a container field that holds a lengthy PDF document. Can a Filemaker script be written that would navigate to a pre-determined page within the PDF document? Or, must the client use the PDF navigation tools?

If you are using Adobe Reader, you can open a PDF at a pre-defined page from the Windows command line viz

Acrobat.exe /A "page=15" "C:example.pdf"

I assume that you can do something similar on the Mac and the reference below does say that you can use the parameters when opening the PDF with an Apple Event. I don't know if this this would work on an PDF which is stored in a container field though.
