Regardless of the mode chosen, you can set the page on which the PDF file will open. Simply enter a number after the "Go to page" field.

Example: Let's insert a PDF Brick to include an instruction manual in the form. This manual is hosted on the user's computer and should open on page 8.

  1. Open your form and drag and drop a PDF Brick.
  2. Enter a title for the brick, for example: "Instruction Manual".
  3. In the settings, choose the "File" mode.
  4. Browse your files and select the instruction manual.
  5. Enter the number 8 so that the file opens directly on page 8.
