Hyperlinks with anchors do not work on Microsoft Excel

0

In Microsoft Excel, I go to a cell and create a hyperlink to a PDF document as follows:

http://example.com/MyDocument.pdf#page10

Unfortunately, when I click on it, my web browser (Chrome) goes to the following link:

http://example.com/MyDocument.pdf%20-%20page10

which of course returns 404: Not Found. The link does work as intended in Internet Explorer, but not in Chrome or Firefox.

Strangely, when I use any other kind of link with an anchor (which does not point to a PDF, for instance), it works fine. For instance, the following works:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/db/models/#using-models

Which PDF plugin are you using for IE (where anchors work), and are you using the same for the other browsers too? – Karan – 2013-05-27T14:01:41.147

The documents are opened with Acrobat Reader X inside the browsers. No browser-specific plug-ins are used. – bmm – 2013-05-27T14:04:19.797
