Set page for PDF to open to
Solution 1:
No. Preview does not respect the PDF Initial View metadata. Other Readers, such as Skim and PDFPen Pro, also do not. Instead, all of these apps open at page 1 and then remember the last page viewed for the next time the document is opened. Foxit Reader does respect the Initial View.
Your best solution is to provide a Table of Contents (aka Bookmarks, Outlines), so that users can easily click to the desired page.
It's worth noting that Preview's own 'Bookmarks' are not PDF-standard, and will not be displayed by any other PDF Viewer.
