PDF Page Link

r

Have you ever wanted to browse directly to a page in a PDF file? This map will show you how in Windows and in a mind map. In this example I am using Mindjet MindManager where the syntax for the shortcut does not work. I list the current workaround then propose a new feature for MindManager.
