How to create a link to a specific page number?

My question is how to target a page based on its number. For example if targeted page number is 6, clicking on the Anchor text should take to 6th page.

I know how to target any text of any PDF page using code:

Anchor click = new Anchor("Click to go to Target");
click.Reference = "#target";
Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
p1.Add(click);
doc.Add(p1);
Anchor target = new Anchor("Target");
target.Name = "target";
doc.Add(target);

My question is how to target a page based on its number. For example if targeted page number is 6, clicking on the Anchor text should take to 6th page.

In iText 7 you have two possible ways to set a link to a page.

Example 1: Paragraph anchor = new Paragraph("This is a destination"); anchor.setProperty(Property.DESTINATION, "dest1"); doc.add(anchor);

Paragraph chunk = new Paragraph(new Link("Link", PdfAction.createGoTo("dest2")));

Example 2:

PdfArray array = new PdfArray();
array.add(doc.getPdfDocument().getPage(1).getPdfObject());
array.add(PdfName.Fit);
PdfDestination dest2 = PdfDestination.makeDestination(array);

Paragraph chunk = new Paragraph(new Link("Link", PdfAction.createGoTo("dest2")));
