Open pdf at a specific page

Hi,
I want to directly open a pdf doc at a specific page in solaris from command line without using the service of a browser.
Will appreciate any help in this regard.
Thankx in advance

Hmmmm, just tried that and used the magnify glass to capture the specific page in the second pdf, but when I tried the link, it doesn't open a new window, it sits within the original pdf and I can't go back to the page I need to. What am I missing/

Open PDF in a specific page from another PDF

Acrobat vs8 - XP - Windows
While in one PDF file, create a link to open another PDF file in the same folder - to a specific page number.

Use the Link tool in Adobe Acrobat.

How do I open a PDF to a specific page via the command line?

Several questions about opening PDFs from the Mac OS X command line:
1) How do I use the "open" command to open a PDF to a specific page? (I know I can open a document via: open doc_name.pdf)
2) How do I use the "open" command to pass multiple arguments (page no, zoom scale, view mode, etc...) to open a PDF file in a specific manner?
3) Does Preview handle the same parameters as Acrobat Reader? If not, what are the differences in options?
I've spent hours searching for this answer and have come up dry. I've downloaded Adobe's "PDF Open Parameters" document -- it lists all of the parameters I need, however I can't get any of them to work from the command line.
My goal: Open a PDF from the command line to a specific page. At first glance, I thought this would be simple to do and find -- however, after a lot of searching I haven't found an example on how to do it.
Anyone have any experience doing this, and care to share?
Much appreciated! ---> Kelsey

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

How do you open a PDF to a specific page number in Safari 8.0?

I'm using the command #page=33 to try to force Safari to open a PDF to a specific page number. While this works fine on just about every website browser, it doesn't seem to work in Safari. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

The problem is most likely with the Safari PDF plugin, which doesn't process the open parameters correctly. To be fair, though, this is not a part of the PDF ISO specification but something that Adobe implemented on their own in their PDF plugins, so other applications are not obliged to follow it.
If you switch to using the Adobe plugin then it should work, even in Safari.

Do all versions of Adobe support opening a PDF to a specific page?

I am looking to append a url with "#page=x" in order to open a PDF to a specific page. Do all versions of Adobe support this functionality?

Well, we first have to define what we mean by Adobe.
Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat do, not in all versions but in recent versions (the last decade or so).
It works only in certain browsers, and only if the PDF is opened in the browser window NOT downloaded or opened separately.
I assume you are aware that there are many non-Adobe PDF viewers (e.g. those built into Chrome, FireFox, Safari, and IE on Windows 8); each will have their own idea of what to do.

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

Hi Tom,
I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
Best regards, mbd

How can I get Safari 5.1.2 to automatically open pdf files on web pages by using Adobe Reader?

Safari 5.1.2 always opens pdf files on web pages as a single frame and thus it will not print properly. How can I get Safari to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader 10.1.1?

Carolyn,
Thanks for sending your suggestion on how to solve my problem. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I trashed the file, quit and relaunched Safari, but the problem remained the same. Although it did not work, I do appreciate that you took the time to try to help me.
Thanks.

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 do I link a reference point in one PDF to a specific page in a different PDF? I want it to open link in a new window AT the specific page.

I have a paper with multiple reference points that I need to link to 3 other pdfs. Each time I create a link in the master PDF, I need to open a file in a new window and point to a specific page in the other pdf. I cannot get it to work.

Hmmmm, just tried that and used the magnify glass to capture the specific page in the second pdf, but when I tried the link, it doesn't open a new window, it sits within the original pdf and I can't go back to the page I need to. What am I missing/

Open a PDF to a specific page from command line

I want to open a locally stored PDF file to a specific page from the command line. I have seen examples of accessing web based files using http and the #page= parameter but this does not seem to work for a file stored on my local drive. I want to be able to use VBA from MS Access to control the opening page.

Hi cfwoodbury,
When opening a PDF document from a command shell, you can pass the parameters to the open command using the /A switch with the following syntax:
<Acrobat path> /A "<parameter>=<value>" "<PDF path>"
For example:
Acrobat.exe /A "zoom=1000" "C:\example.pdf"

Use servlet to open a PDF at a specific page

Is it possible to create a servlet to open a PDF file at a specific page?
The equivalent of myPdf.pdf#page=12 but through a servelt using header of the response may be?

This is easier solved outside of Acrobat. For example, if your clients download the PDF from a website, add a form with the text and an "I agree" button before you provide them the link to the file. Or if you send it to them by email, first send them an email to which they need to reply before getting the PDF.

Opening a PDF in a specific page from a PDF created in indesign

Hello, I'm working with CS4 and I need you to click on a button, or from a "hyperlink" in a text, open a pdf file but for a given page.
I can not change the target pdf and also I have to access a single pdf into multiple pages, put an example
persone one speaks at the pdf 1, on page 14
person two speaking in pdf 1, on page 15
I wish that when you click on the person 1 opens pdf 1 on page 14, and when you click on the person 2 opens pdf 1 on page 15
Thanks in advance
mateo

Thanks, I had not noticed in the new dialogue coming out. Thank you very much. A greeting.
Muchas gracias
mateo
Rectification
ohhh, no, the page references are to an indesign document, not a PDF
I have not indesign files where you created the PDF to which I have to jump and I can not add bookmarks to pdf, pdf files are protected.
thanks

Open .pdf in a web page

My client is the publisher of a magazine and that magazine
has a web site. He wants to place a .pdf file on a page in the web
site and have it open in that page. I know how to insert a .pdf so
the viewer can download it. What we want to do is different than
that. Just want to open the .pdf in a web page.
I have no idea how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.

Creating hyperlink to online pdf to a specific page

Is it possible to create a hyperlink to a pdf that's online to go directly to a specific page?

Hi
Are you making sure you're using the full url? So http://thesite.com/thePDF.pdf#page=10 rather than thePDF.pdf#page=10

Open pdf at a specific page
