Open PDF document to a specific page via a

I know if you can open a PDF to a specific page by using the PAGE parameter when you open via ACROBAT. I want to be able to do the same thing via the anchor tag <a>. How can you do it?
For example, I have html in my region source:
Refer to the <b><a href="javascript:popUp2('#APP_IMAGES#FD User Guide.pdf')">System User Guide</a></b> on how to use all the features ...I also have it in URL target of a list region:
javascript:popUp2('#APP_IMAGES#FD User Guide.pdf')The customer wants to be able the user to go automatically to page 53, for example.
Can someone please help ASAP?

All,
I found my answer. You just need to append "page=+page_number+* to the filename.

Open PDF file to a specific page

I need to have an HTML link open a PDF file at a specific page. Are there any commands that can be added to the HTML link that the Reader can use to do this specific action? I have many name index files where the names are linked to the spcific page. I currently have all pages as individual JPG files. I want to combine all these JPG files as a single PDF file. But how do I access those individual pages? Thanks.

THANK YOU !! The article states that the described method does not work using local hard drive destinations. I neglected to mention that using local hard drive destinations is exactly what I need. But the article also states this applies to Reader 7.0. I am using 8.1.2 so I decided to try it and see what happens. The method does indeed work in 8.1.2 !! Again, THANK YOU !!

Links to other pdf documents displaying a specific page possible?

Is Adobe Reader on Windows Tablets able to jump, for example on page 5 of another pdf document?
I need this.

But on Android Tablet there is no PDF Reader that i able to do this...
Thanks for answers!

I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.
Thanks

Oups, my answer assumes that you were dispalying a PDF through http.
Like said before by someone else, for command shell the command is different.

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then? That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents in the pages app?

Can I set up safari to automatically open PDF documents from the internet into the pages app?

No - and you can't open pdf files in the Pages app on the iPad anyway as far as I know. You can export a Pages file as a pdf but you can't open them in Pages.

How to open pdf document in other window by using java script

Hello All,
I am working in R12 Application.
My jdeveloper version is 10.1.3.3.0.3
I want to open pdf document in other window on clicking the button
for that i have written following code in process request of the controller:
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("doFilterSwitch", "function doFilterSwitch(){window.open('/t01/oracle/TEST/inst/apps/TEST_appsdev2/logs/appl/conc/out/545042.pdf'); }");
OAButtonBean moHelp =(OAButtonBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("Download");
moHelp.setOnClick("doFilterSwitch()");
but when i hit download button it gives me the below error:
The webpage cannot be found
HTTP 404
Most likely causes:
There might be a typing error in the address.
If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.
What you can try:
Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.
Go to and look for the information you want.
More information
please help me out
Regards,
sheetal

Instead of giving the link in Process form request, give the link directly in Destination URI property of the button and in target property write _blank.
Note : use normal button not submit button

IPAD2 I can not open PDF documents in Safari.

Can any one help? The link to the document is through Salesforce.

Adobe Reader on iOS works differently than on the PC. On the PC, it installs a browser plug-in that is used to render the PDF document in the web page (or open the PDF document in the Adobe Reader application). On iOS, it simply installs the Adobe Reader app, but no browser plug-in.
Based on the information you've provided, it sounds like the Salesforce web site is trying to detect whether the browser plug-in is installed on iOS (which it never will be), and then prompting you to install Adobe Reader. Instead, the web site should realize that you're browsing on an iPad using Safari, and just display the PDF in a new tab, or in the current tab.
Is there an alternate link on the Salesforce web page to download the PDF file instead of display it? (The link may be much smaller, or offscreen requiring you to scroll right or left.) A download link should actually do the correct thing and display the PDF in Safari once the file is downloaded.
Once you're viewing the PDF in Safari, a black translucent bar appears for about 3 seconds at the top of the tab that will have an "Open in <AppName>" button, or that button plus an "Open..." button (if you have multiple apps that can view PDF documents). Tap one of those buttons to open the PDF document in another app.
If the black translucent bar disappears, just tap anywhere on the PDF document (other than a link) to bring it back.

Opening pdf documents in SOLAR01

Hello All,
Is there a way to open pdf documents in SOLAR01.
If I try this now, an internet browser is opened which after a while will show:
<i>The page you are looking for is currently unavailable</i>
1) is it so that the solmandocumentation service needs to be enabled to show pdf documents.
2) is there a way to open pdf docs in adobe reader directly (without IE).
Thanks for the help,
Jurjen

Hi
You can view all pdf doc in solman itself just select the same and click display icon or just double click it it will open in solar01 or solar02 itself but wait for some time to get it loaded.
whereas if you want to open the doc in explorer just click the attributes and generate url and paste the same in explorer.
You can view in explorer this way.
If you are facing any issue in the above standard procedure please contact your basis team for the same.
Please reward points.

Uable to open PDF document in proper format on blackberry browser

We are trying to open a document hosted in MOSS document library using blackberry browser. The document type can word, excel, power point, pdf. But when we are trying to open PDF document using blackberry browser the document is displayed as long string of text message rather than PDF document and strips all the formatting.
But if we email the same document and try opening that in blackberry then it works fine. Please share your thoughts, how we can properly render these documents on blackberry browser. Because this is a show stopper for our solution approach in which user can open any document on his blackberry.

Problem opening pdf documents with reader

We have an hp computer running on windows 8. It came with adobe reader installed which worked fine until about a month ago. Since then when you try to open a pdf document on an online page, a message comes up "There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. If it is running, pleae exit and try again." When you try to open other documents that have been saved to the computer a message comes up Adobe Reader Protected Mode which indicates that Adobe Reader cannot open in protected mode due to an incompatibility with your system configuration. It then asks if you want to open reader with protected mode disabled, always open it that way or not open with protected mode disabled. If you choose the open it with protected mode disabled this time, a message comes back indicating Acrobat failed to load its Core DLL.
We've uninstalled reader and downloaded apparently successfully the version for windows 8 several times, but without any success - same messages come up. Sound familiar at all? I don't want to have to pay a computer guy for something that really seems like it should be an easy fix (though I'm not a tech person, so not sure I find too many fixes easy!).
Thanks in advance for whatever anyone can offer.

I can not open pdf documents

If I want to open a pdf document I get the following error-message:
"Error during page elaboration. A problem occurred during reading this document (109)"
I have Adobe Reader V8. I removed the version 8 and installed version 7, but I still can not open the document.

I can not open .pdf documents unless I save them first. But sometimes I can't download the file first - I get an error message that says that my version of Adobe can't open a .pdf in a web browser...

Hello. When trying to forward a multiple page PDF document, only the first page appears. Does anyone know how to fix this. TY

Are you sure? I believe the mail program only previews the first page for you, but sends the whole attachment. Try opening the attachment (e.g., select and hit spacebar for a preview of the whole thing, or by double-clicking it, or control-clicking then "Open...") You should see the whole document.

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working"

I am having a problem opening pdf document. I get error message: "Adobe Reader has stopped working" then I get Windows is looking on line for a solution, but then my document closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader XI, rebooted my computer but this did not help. I get the same message. What to do?

Can you open Reader by itself? If so, check if disabling Protected Mode improves the situation [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
