Default hyperlink with parameters?

I need to create a hyperlink with the following form (as it appears in a
shortcut where it works properly):

"Acrobat.exe" /A "page=4=OpenActions" "C:\example.pdf"

(This launches the the pdf file example.pdf with page 4 open)

Using Insert Hyperlink (word 2007) results in a field as follows
{HYPERLINK "\"C:\\Acrobat.exe\" \\A \"page=4=OpenActions\"
\"C:\\example.pdf\"" } (slightly corrected because word gets confused by the
prliferation of "s and misses some )

This results in the error message "Cant open specified file". What appears
to be happening is that Word doesnt know how to pass the parameters to
acrobat.exe.

Any ideas on how to construct the hyperlink so that word understands it?

(Embedding a shortcut in the word document works but this is exceptionally
clumsy and not very helpful because you need a shortcut for every hyperlink)
