How to create a link to a specific page number?

How can I target a page based on its number?

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.

Instead of an Anchor, you need a Chunk. To this Chunk you need to add a PdfAction. The action needs to be a gotoLocalPage() action.

For instance:

Chunk chunk = New Chunk("Go to page 5");
PdfAction action = PdfAction.GotoLocalPage(5, New PdfDestination(0), writer);
chunk.SetAction(action);
