I tried a number of possible permutations with no success. I'm running
out of time so I converted the PDF to HTML and used anchors. This will
give me more time to play with it before the next PDF I have to try to
link to.

Additionally, page 8 of this doc:

gives examples one of which matches my usage.

This page:
<url: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/317300.html >
says "If you use URLs other than HTTP and HTTPS, such as server
locations (\\servername\folder), then set the link to open to a set
destination using the procedure in the following section" but I don't
quite understand it. Do they mean that other than HTTP of HTTPS you
should use destinations rather than page numbers?
