HYPERLINK TO A PARTICULAR PAGE FROM LINKS IN OTHER SOFTWARE

I use Mindmanager and Excel to organize projects. I want to embed a hyperlink to these documents to open a local PDF in Bluebeam to a particular page. Another great feature would be to be able to link to a page in a PDF hosted on a shared cloud server. It seems that unlike Acrobat, Bluebeam does not recognize instructions to open to a page.

The only way I know how to do this is if the hyperlink is to an individual page. Then it works fine.

How do you do that - what is the syntax? And do you mean to a page in a cloud hosted document or a local document? Thanks.

You need to use the HYPERLINK command in Excel.
It honestly doesn't matter where it's saved because you provide the link

Check out this tutorial from Exceljet for some further information

I do not have difficulty hyperlinking to documents online or locally. the problem is that Bluebeam fails to link to a particular page within that document. It opens to the document, but only to the first page. I want to send people to the exact page within the document. Apparently Adobe Acrobat understands syntax to go to a page, but Bluebeam does not.

To do this in Revu you first have to break the file down into individual pages.
There are a few differences between Adobe and Revu, and this is one of them.

So you are saying each page needs to be a separate hyperlinked document? I want to send them a link to open a full document but open to a page within the document. By creating a ink to each page, they would only have that one page in that link. To go to the following page, they would need to go back to the source document then open another hyperlink to the next page, no?

To go to the following page, they would need to go back to the source document then open another hyperlink to the next page, no? - Maybe. You could also have the documents hyperlinked together

Thank you for suggesting that, but it is pretty clunky. I'm hoping that Bluebeam will one day understand the same syntax as other software where you can append "=PAGE NUMBER:xx" to the end of the hyperlink and the software will open to that page. I am so surprised that Bluebeam cannot do this given its extensive internal hyperlinking capabilities.
