I need to determine if there are command line parameters or switches to pass to Window's PDF reader App that would allow me to open a PDF to a specific page. I have a x86 database application that allows me to run command line scripts. The user presses a button which then opens a PDF to a specific page depending on the button pressed. Since the PDF reader App does not use an exe, I am not sure how to do this. I know I can install Adobe Reader and use a command line like

AcroRD32.exe /A "page=10" PDF file

but I would rather use Window's PDF App. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance.
 
But will your target users have the same PDF App you want to use, same version of Windows? That's an extremely important consideration.
 
Thanks for your reply Breton. Yes the user will have the same operating system Win8.1 and therefore the same PDF app. I am the database manager for a group of environmental researchers. I manage a number of Win8.1 tablets (all Dell Venue 8 Pro) so I can control what apps are loaded. I provide the field people with the tablets ready to use in the spring and then collect the data in the fall.
