EVO HTML to PDF Converter can set the location in a PDF page where to go when the generated PDF is opened in a PDF viewer using a PdfActionGoTo object which can be assigned to DocumentOpenAction property. Additionally you can set the initial zoom level using the ExplicitDestinationZoomPercentage property of destination object used to construct the PdfActionGoTo object.
