Open PDF in Specific Page

Hi =)
Suppose I have a big pdf, let's say, with 500 pages.
I want to know if it can be opened in a specific page (this page can change). How can I do that? Is it possible?
Besides that, if I'm looking for a specific word, is it possible to open the pdf in the page it first occurs and highlight it (the word)?
(Note that I'm not talking about doing a search for a word once the pdf is opened.)
Can someone help me?
Thanks =)

Hi =)
Thank you for replying =)
Ok, but is there a way of making it programmatically? (I did not explain myself very well in the first post)
Suppose I have this pdf file in a website that allows the user to search for a word and gives all the results of his search through all pdf files in that site. I want the user to be able to click in the file he wants to see and automatically open the pdf in the page where the first matching word is.
Is there a way?
Thanks =)

  • Open pdf to specific page is working in XP but not Vista

    Hello,
    I have a Flash project consisting of multiple pages. On each page there is a link that will allow the user to open a pdf to a specific page to supplement the information contained in the Flash page.
    To do this I am attaching the following script to the button on each page:
    on (release) {
        getURL("My document.pdf#page=37");
    This works fine in Windows XP. I can navigate to different pages in Flash and open a different page in the pdf each time.
    It is not working for me in Vista. What it does in Vista is the first time you click on the button it will open the pdf to the specified page. The problem is that if you hit that button again or navigate to another page and click on that button to open another page in the pdf, it opens the pdf but only to the first page and ignores the specified page request.
    The project will be running from a cd only.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Suggest you check the pages against the W3C Validator and eliminate the errors:
    http://validator.w3.org/
    e.g. the upper cheeks page has mangled code including three closing </head> tags (lines 31, 88 and 176) which IE and Chrome are probably barfing on.

  • How do I open to a specific page or destination in a pdf file using Buddy API Xtra?

    Hello,
    I'm working with a CD ROM catalog that utilizes the Buddy API Xtra to open PDF files when a link is clicked. The client would like to be able to open to a specific page within a pdf file.
    I can open a pdf file using the Buddy API baOpenfile() function but I'm having trouble opening to a specific page when I add #page=4:
    baOpenfile("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf#page=4","normal")
    I've also tried working with the code below which seems to me like it should work... I didn't realize that the "open..." part of it was a function in Director.
    on mouseUp me
      pageNum = 4
      theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf"))
      theDoc = baShortFileName("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf")
      theArgs = "/s /A page=" & string(pageNum)   & "&pagemode=bookmarks"
      -- (translates to "/A page=4" in this example)
      open theApp && theArgs && theDoc
    end
    Thoughts?
    Thank you in advance!

    Thank you Dee! This works perfect!
    It would be cool to know how to use bashell() for this.
    The help files give the following examples:
    Result = baShell( Operation, Filename, Args, WorkDir, State )
    ok = baShell( "open", "c:\windows\notepad.exe", "myfile.txt" , "", "normal" )
    ok = baShell( "edit", "myfile.htm" , "", "", "normal" )
    So I tried:
    on mouseUp me
      -- Close the program group
      tWindowList = baWindowList( "" , "pdf" , false )
      if tWindowList <> [] and count(tWindowList) > 0 then  baCloseWindow(tWindowList[1])
      pageNum = 4
      theApp = baFindApp("pdf")
      theDoc = _movie.path & "pdfs\Powder Cores\Magentics Powder Core Catalog.pdf"
      theArgs = "/A "&QUOTE&"page="&string(pageNum)&"=OpenActions"&QUOTE
      baShell( "open", theApp, theDoc , theArgs, "normal" )
    end
    It opens the pdf file without going to a specific page. Any thoughts as to why it wouldn't accept theArgs?
    Thanks again!

  • Web Link to Open to a Specific Page

    I have a pdf document that contains links to other pdf documents. This document is fully functional on our network. I am trying to transfer this set of documents to an on-line file management system. I have almost accomplished this goal with the exception of not being able to have the on-line links open to a specific page in a document. It is possible to do this on the network by going into link properties and adding the action, go to a page in another document. Then you can edit it to open to specific page, for example page 6. Is there a way to specify a page on the on-line file management system?
    Thanks!

    about.html??panel=1#Accordion1
    should be
    about.html?panel=1#Accordion1
    or can be
    about.html?panel=1
    var Accordion1=new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {useFixedPanelHeights:false});
    var Accordion1=new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {defaultPanel: params.panel ? params.panel: 0});
    Combining the above
    var Accordion1=new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {useFixedPanelHeights:false, defaultPanel: params.panel ? params.panel: 0});

  • Open PDF at specific bookmarks

    I have a newsletter posted on our website as PDF. Want HTML email to go out to subscribers containing intro paragraphs of each article, click the appropriate link to the web page, and then Open PDF at the text in the article. I have everything bookmarked in the PDF article but can't find info on how to control location of opening of document based on a condition; only (under Document Properties) the ability to ALWAYS open to any page, magnification, open w/ bookmarks panel open, etc. If not built into Acrobat, is there either a way to:
    pass a parameter to Acrobat to open to a specific page or bookmark?
    run a script to control this function?
    any another way to do this?
    I am using Acrobat 6.0 but willing to buy 8.0 if it has this needed capability.
    Thanks in advance,

    Found the answer to my question! The article linked below explained PDF Open Parameters. I created a named destination in my pdf and then added #nameddest=name of destination to the end of my URL.

  • How to open a pdf at specific page from EXCEL hyperlink

    I can open a .pdf from EXCEL using hyperlink. May I ask, if ever possible, how to open a .pdf at a specific page from EXCEL hyperlink ? I don't mean open a pdf then click on a bookmark or enter a page number. (I am using Adobe Reader v9.5.2 and MicrosoftOffice Profession Edition 2003.)

    Hello,
    The parameters that can be used in the URL when opening a PDF document are

  • Open PDF to Specfic Page - both PDFs on a Windows Desktop

    Assembled Geniuses:
    I have a project with the following requirements.
    1.  The main document is a large legal brief which contains over 700 references, stored on a Windows desktop.
    2.  There are around 300 target documents, many of them confidential, all of them  PDFs stored in the same folder.
    3.  The main document contains multiple references to each target document.
    4.  The resulting product will be sent to who knows how many very demanding  and not necessarily tech savvy lawyers.
    5.  The desired behavior:
        The user clicks on a link in the main document and the target document opens in a new window to a specific page.
    Conditions #1 & #2 preclude use of any web-based open-to-a-specfic-page tricks.
    Condition #3 precludes setting the opening preference of the target documents since I would need at least 1000 documents as targets.
    I have succeeding in reproducing the desired behavior, but it was accomplished through making a folder-level trusted function, but that solution can't be implemented because of Condition #4.
    I know that this is possible because we receive from a vendor PDFs that display the desired behavior.
    Apparently the vendor accomplishes this miracle with a custom Action called "Go to a page in another document".
    The "Go to a page in another document" Action has three steps:
    1. File:[full path name of file (not device-independent)]
    2. Page:[pagenumber]
    3. Zoom level: Inherit Zoom
    This works like a charm.
    The question I'd really like to have answered is:
    How do they associate this custom action with the drop-down menu of the link tool?
    When I create an action it is only available in the main Actions tab, so I'm jealous.
    I tell myself they must have some fancy tools that I don't own, which only makes me more jealous.
    Here is a screen-shot of the "Go to a page in another document" Action
    If you are still reading, congratulations and thank you for your attention.
    Aaron

    It's all a part of Acrobat...
    Create a new Link object.
    In the window that opens select "Go to a page view" action and click Next.
    A floating window appears with the "Set Link" button.
    Now open the other file you wish to link to and scroll to the desired
    location.
    Click the "Set Link" button, and you're done.

  • Open pdf at specific bookmark

    I'm trying to opne a pdf from command line at a specific bookmark..
    Here is the command:
    Acrord32.exe /A "nameddest=Getting Started" C:\\helpfile.pdf
    if the namedest parameter contains a space its not working.. Otherwise i'm able to open the pdf at specific bookmark.

    And to create named destinations?
    I found this http://www.mindtheflex.com/?p=86 but my adobe hasn't the option "Destinations" (is it a pro version feature?)
    When I build the document (in word) is there any change to give this named destinations?
    Thank you

  • Is it possible to open pdf files in pages

    Is it possible to open and edit PDF's in Pages?

    Mactioner explained how you may insert a PDF in a Pages document but this will not allow you to edit it.
    You will just be able to insert text boxes whose contents will replace the piece of text which they hide.
    When I worked as an engineer, this kind of job was made with paper, scissors and glue.
    So, from my point of view,  the described trickery is a huge progress.
    Sometimes it may be sufficient (if new text is shorter than original one).

  • Open PDF to certain page

    Is there are way to open a PDF (linked from the internet) to a certain page, in Flash Catalyst?
    Thanks for you help!

    Yes that workflow is possible. But you are going to have import your Flash Catalyst project into Flash Builder and then add the various classes and code in your project. You will need some level of ActionScript development experience to properly add this functionality.
    The best starting point would be this help document:

  • How to (bookmark)/Open pdf at the page it is displaying when it is closed.

    Hi
    How can I bookmark a page in pdf file, so that when opening it Adobe Reader directly opens the particular page.
    Is there any possibility with Adobe Reader to bookmark as we do with a hard-copy book. This would be very handy when opening the e-book the next day to continue reading.
    Thanks in advance
    Rk.

    Thanks Bernd.
    Thats what I am exactly looking for. I really missed out a simple setting. Thanks for ur help.

  • How do you open .pdf file in pages???

    This seems like something very easy to do, but I can't get it to work.  How do I save a .pdf file from a disk into .pages, so I can work on it and make changes? I can save it in pages, but then it won't open in .pages.  it seems like it should be so easy.  About to break down and buy microsoft word and excel for the mac.

    I have this http://www.smilesoftware.com/PDFpen/index.html but it does cost $60 (got it for $20 on some special years ago). There is a free trial if you only need to get out of a short term problem. And I think there are free alternatives but don't know. BTW, I have no connection to PDFpen.
