According to this document, it is possible to add "destinations" to a PDF file that can be used to navigate directly to certain places in the document when opening it:

Open a PDF file to a set destination

A destination is the end point of a link represented by text in the Destinations tab. Destinations enable you to set navigation paths across a collection of Adobe PDF documents. Linking to a destination is recommended when linking across documents because, unlike a link to a page, a link to a destination is not affected by the addition or deletion of pages within the target document.

To set a Destination in Acrobat 7.0 (Professional or Standard):

  1. Set the Zoom and page location to the way you want it on the screen.

  2. Select View > Navigation Tabs > Destinations to open the Destinations tab.

  3. Select Options > New Destination from the Destinations tab.

  4. Give the Destination a name.

  5. Create an HTML link that points to this destination by adding #[destination name] to the end of the links URL.

For example, this HTML tag opens a destination named "glossary" in a PDF file named myfile.pdf:

<A HREF="http://www.example.com/myfile.pdf#glossary">

Using pdflatex and hyperref, is there a way to place these "destinations" in the PDF output file? Is it possible to automatically add \labels as destinations?

  • I'm not sure to understand what you want to do, but it could be related with http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6210/can-you-have-hyperlinks-to-locations-in-different-pdfs – Ignasi Feb 23 '15 at 11:20
  • @Ignasi: Related, yes, but in that example, the link is between two PDF documents. I need to reference a certain point in a PDF file from a HTML page. – vwegert Feb 23 '15 at 11:24

  • @Ignasi: No, since I need to link to a (moving) symbolic target, not a fixed page number. – vwegert Feb 23 '15 at 11:41
