linking to multiple pages in a single PDF file (in one designated window)

Hello Group!

Could someone please assist with this question?

I am looking for HTML or JavaScript Code to create links on several HTML pages to specific pages in one huge PDF file, which needs to open in one designated target window.

using the target="_blank" method is not an option, as it would start as many separate sessions with the same huge PDF file.

I have tried the following:

<a href="path-to-file.pdf#page=3" target="_catalog">Intro</a>
<a href="path-to-file.pdf#page=7" target="_catalog">Chapter 1</a>

This fails in IE8. The first page opens in FF5, but when I click on the other link, it does not move to the targeted page number unless I click on reload.

Is there a JavaScript method for this? I have also looked into an <iframe> solution but have not found one where I could feed the targeted PDF page as a child page into a parent HTML file. The PDF otherwise loads easily into a page with <iframe> otherwise.

I have tried some in the JavaScript Visual Quick Guide, but they do not work. If any of you have any suggestion or working solution, please let me know. Thank you in advance!
