How to obtain position/view within PDF

There is much information regarding how to open a PDF at a particular page etc. from the command line.
How can the data be obtained and stored externally while reading the document.
Perhaps more precisely, if I edited a page and then later wanted to open the PDF at a specific edit from, say, a shortcut, because I don't wish to write down the page number how might I go about obtaining the data to add to the shortcut command line?
Thank you

Thank you.
I have read from the link you provided but it only tells me what I knew regarding how to achieve this manually not programmatically.
I can see that I have not explained very well.
I wish through external means (a program/script I will write), to click a button at any time and multiple times, while reading a PDFand have the program obtain (from somewhere/anywhere/even Windows itself) the position I am at while reading a PDF and inject it into a url.
The end result will be a list (in an HTML page?) of the url's I have saved. i.e. the same as internal bookmarks but external.
The information exists because a PDF can be re-opened at the current page when closing by it saving that information.
I do understand that I can do it by noting the position myself and injecting it.
Useage example:
While editing video's I am reading from several PDF's at the same time, with differing viewpoints, and at various stages I want to bookmark and make a comment from whichever PDF my eyes are on (thus effectively at random).
Doing it within the PDF does not tell me (later, externally) which PDF or the order in which the bookmarks were made, if I wish to recreate the learning process.
All I can at present do is open each PDF and got to its various bookmarks out of sequence both within the book and choice of book.
Clearly the bookmarks need to appear in a list in the order created and each must select the appropriate book and page within that book. Then the previous session's progress can be recreated.
Perhaps it is now clearer.
I can write the program but where do I obtain, programmatically when I click the button, the current PDF title (file url) and page number within it, to place in the list of url's?
Any suggestions please

  • How can I disable viewing of PDF-files in browser in Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi everyone
    After I have upgraded to Adobe Reader XI, I not longer can find the checkbox under settings>Internet, where I can disable that Adobe Reader XI viewing PDF-files in my browser.
    If I instead press on the button, I can see in the dialog box Adobe refers to an article there give me instruction to turn off the viewing of PDF-files via my browser settings. When I follow these instructions, I can see that the plug-in to Adobe is disabled when I not viewing PDF-files in my browser, and enabled when I viewing PDF-files in my browser.
    Therefore:
    1. Why has Adobe removed the checkbox where I can disable viewing of PDF-files in my browser?
    2. How can I now disable and enable viewing of PDF in my browser?
    My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, and my browser is Internet Explorer 8.
    Very thanks.
    Regards,
    Boholdt

    Hi again
    I have read the article, but I can still not find the plugin I should
    disable in Internet Explorer 8.
    If I see a PDF-file in my browser, I can select and disable a plugin called
    PDF Adobe Reader, but next time I open Internet Explorer 8, I not can see
    the plugin.
    Another method is between the guide for accessibility
    (edit>Accessibility>Setup Assistant. On screen number 4, you can find the
    checkbox.
    Since I am blind, I can find the assistant.
    For my interessting, it is possible for sighted users of Adobe Reader to
    find the same assistant?
    Very thanks.
    Regards

  • How to obtain position/profile in CIC0 programs.

    We have a requirement where we need to allow restricted access to the CIC0 programs depending upon the position/profile with which the CIC0 was logged in. Is there any way by which we can know the profile/position in any of the CIC0 programs.

    We already have profiles and assigned positions. While using CIC0, we get a pop-up which lists the positions assigned to a user and the user selects any one position to log in. After logging in, when the user accesses any program from the action box, we would like to add an authorization to check if the access to that program is allowed for that particular position. Here we need to read the position with which the user had logged in. Is there any database table, system variables, or FMs from which the current position can be read.

    Have you installed Adobe Reader and its associated plugin? AFAIK, that's the preferred if not the only way to open PDFs in an embedded view within Safari.

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

  • How to hide content in design view within Dreamweaver?

    How can I hide content in design view within Dreamweaver?
    I have a tabbed content menu that uses some javascript. Everything looks great in Live view, but when I go to design view, all the content goes way beyond the div. How can I make it to where I can hide the content in that div in design view or wrap it completely inside of there? It's really hard to explain which is why I provided some pictures!
    LIVE VIEW
    DESIGN VIEW
    Thank you in advance for all the help!
    Dalton

    Humm....... you want to hide it in Design View whilst working on the rest of the site?
    If that is the case set the menu container <div> to display: none; -
    <div id="menu" style="display: none;">This is the content menu</div>
    Then either set it to display: block; when you're ready to view it live or remove the style completely.

    The above was truncated and garbled a bit and I can't figure out how to edit it.  So just to repeat the question a bit more clearly: "I'm using Acrobat XI on Windows.  I want to add my company's logotype as a watermark to a PDF document.  When I add it as a file (jpeg), the logotype is printed on a white square background (because the jpeg is square with a white background of course).  It will be positioned on the PDF document on a light, uniform yellowish color, which I want to show through.

  • How do I NOT view PDF files in Safari?

    When I click on a PDF link on a webpage in Safari it no longer opens by downloading or opening in Preview. Now it opens a new tab, all in gray and displays the message that I must quit Safari, open Adobe Reader, and accept a license agreement to view the PDF in Safari. Since I don't want to do that, ever, does anyone know how I can go back to the way it was before this started? It's been doing this for a month(?) now.

    There is a little tool, where you can set wheter Safari should display the PDF (and then you can download it) or not display it and download directly:
    Safari-display-or-download-pdf.app.

    Hey, i was wondering if anyone knew how to view a PDF file in Java? I'm trying to make a button that will open a PDF file. Is there any other way without downloading an extension?

    The thing with downloading extensions is that they are not free. Some are trial version. iText and Jasper are probably free and stable to a great extent. Plus they allow you to play with PDFs, Excel, Bar charts, Pie charts, CSV etc etc without the hassles of the heavyweight Swing.

  • How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

      How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

    Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) for Windows 8 is a relatively new product, which was introduced in December 2012.  Adobe Reader XI, X, or older is a completely separate product - a traditional desktop app with classic UI.  The desktop version has been available in the market for 20 years (!!) and it does not share any common components with Adobe Reader Touch.
    Adobe Reader Touch does not support page (view) rotation yet.
    For Windows 8, you can download and install Adobe Reader XI from the link below.

    For Windows RT, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer), instead.
