Specific PDF page range via URL

Hi!
We have a 60 page PDF, but would like to be able to only show pages 5-10 (or whatever) via a URL and have parameters in the URL only show pages 5-10.
Is this possible? It would be as if the URL parameters hide/omit pages 1-4 and 11-60, and simply show the user specific data presenting a "lightweight" version of the original PDF.
Thank you!

No, this would require a server process to make a subset PDF and serve it.
You can link to a specific page.
Also, when shown in the browser, if a file is optimized for fast web view, it goes directly to specific pages rather than waiting to load the whole file.

Hyperlink to specific pdf page

I would like to be able insert a hyperlink into Excel 2011 which specifies a page within the pdf to jump to. From looking at various web pages, it appears that one should be able to append the following text to the hyperlink #page=25. However, this does not appear to work. I thought that it was something to do with Excel but even if I insert the hyperlink into Safari, it still does not work. With both Excel and Safari, the pdf opens but it does not jump to the specified page. I am running OS 10.6 and 10.7 and I get the same results on both.
Has anyone managed to get this working?

Thank you for the link.
I think the solution is for a windows machine that can use Internet Explorer. I have already tried using this solution but with Safari but it unfortunately does not work. Ideally, I would like the hyperlink to open preview at the required page.

Exporting Book as PDF, page range?

Is it possible to export a book as a PDF with a page range? The page range option is grayed out?

For exporting to PDF from a book, it works different than an individual document. If you only want some of the book chapters going to PDF, select only those chapters in the book panel. Then Export to PDF... becomes Export Selected Documents to PDF....

Accessing Specific PDF page in a hyperlink within CHM

I have built a CHM in RoboHelp 9 and am trying to make a hyperlink that will take the reader directly to an included PDF page number, that starts a section in this PDF of about 3 pages.

Having multiple images in a tiff file is probably not the best practice. THe image object meta data might not make much sense (width, height, format...).
But....
For 8.1.7, there is no way to do it from PL/SQL. You could do it outside the database in a servlet.
For 9i, there is an undocumented interface to allow for access to tiff images other than the first image that is being considered for documentation with 10i.

Adobe acrobat 7 (8) - URL-link to specific pdf-page

Is there any way to create page specific URLs in Acrobat 7.0 (or 8.0)? I was hoping that somebody know if there is a way that I can create links from a web page directly to a page in a pdf file.

Read following document:

Way to scroll to specific PDF page fast ?

Im using Safari for reading PDF docs from web.
The PDF docs have a lot of pages. 200 pages is standard.
Is there a way to quickly get to desired page ? Ie page 100
Scrolling manualy thought 100 pages isn't exactly user friendly.
Also is there a way to bookmark specific page in PDF for Safari ?
so it doesn't opens on 1st page, but goes straight to page 100
I'll be glad for any advice.

This is not something I know personally can be done right now.
But iPhone 2.0 is coming out soon and many cool applications. So maybe a nice PDF application for iPhone might be coming out. Not sure. We will have to sit back wait and see what the world of App programmers have to offer

How to add a Comment to a specific PDF page or page element?

I'd like to share a multipage PDF and gather comments about designs presented on the different pages.
Currently comments seem to only apply to the entire PDF file and not to individual pages or elements on pages. I don't see an obvious way to add contextual annotations.
If someone adds a comment, how do I know which page they are commenting on? Perhaps they just have to write something like "Looking at page 4 I'd like to change..."
Thanks,
DAN

Thanks for the feedback. Currently you cannot comment on a specific page in the Creative Cloud.

Link to a pdf page on web from a chm file

Hello,
I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.2. I'm trying to create a link in a chm file to a specific pdf page using a URL. The link I am using is http://www.actuarialstandardsboard.org/pdf/exposure/ASOP_No27_second%20exposure_2011.pdf#p age=41
I put the above line in my chm file. It appears correctly in the URL project list and shows correctly when I choose Show. It also apeears to be correct in the HTML code of the page.
However when I create the chm clicking on the link just brings me the start of the pdf file. After clicking on the link in the chm file and explorer opens, the URL in explorer does not show #page=41. It ends at.pdf.
Am I missing something or does anyone kno whys this is not working?
Thanks
John

Hi there
That link doesn't even work for me when I paste it into the address bar of my Firefox browser. It does work in IE, but not in Firefox. In Firefox it opens the PDF generically.
I tested in a CHM and it did try and link, but it presents a black page. Looks like the correct page, but it's blacked out.
CHM files rely upon elements of Internet Explorer to display their content. So perhaps it's something specific to a certain version of Internet Explorer as well as a certain version of the Acrobat Reader.
Cheers... Rick

Can't Choose Page Range when Exporting PDF from InDesign

Hi! Ever since I upgraded to CS6 via your subscription, I can't choose a page-range when exporting to PDF from InDesign (8.0.1). Here's a video demonstration of the problem so you can see the bug in action: http://screencast.com/t/kYR1ACtNi
Are you aware of this bug? If it's not a bug, how do I fix it?

Alternate layouts are used for things like horizontal and vertical orientations of the same layout for use on tablets. I suspect there's some coverage in the Help files -- being a print guy I don't mess with them.
It may be that you only have one layout and ID just shows you that one inthe dropdown. I can't recall that I ever used the dropdown to try to select the range -- I always just type what I need in the field.

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

OfficeJet 8600 doesn't print full page range from pdf with Mac OS X

I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 linked to a Mac with OS X Mavericks
We often need to print a block of pages (say the first 40, or 10-20 out of the middle) out of large pdf documents of 250pg or more. To do so we put in the page range under 'pages' in the print instructions box.
The printer sometimes prints an initial block of pages, then cuts off. If we then try to print the remaining pages, it starts by printing the whole range again, with the ones we already have, and then still cuts off maybe after having done 2-3 more than the first time round. To print the whole range we've eventually had to print the last pages one at a time.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening, and how we can stop it? It happens with documents in Adobe Reader and web pages.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi @NickRN8
I am not sure what is causing the inconsistency in selected pages not printing, but I'd be happy to help.
Let's reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to scan again.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you. If the issue remains unresolved, I will post instructions to completely scrub the HP software from the computer and start fresh.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

Using Acrobat 9 and suddenly there is no selected page range in the print box. Only selected PDF files or all PDF files. Am I doing something wrong? I need to print only three pages from the document

There is no selected print page range in the print box. Only selected PDF file and all PDF files. Any suggestions?

Well, I looked for where to delete this but didn't see it.
NEVERMIND; I forced iPhoto to quit and restarted and everything seems fine.
BTW, I did get one thing wrong. When I looked at both iPhoto libraries with FINDER, the active one and the archived one both showed content as far as file size goes.
It was because I was viewing the files through Adobe Bridge that it was showing 0 GB's; for whatever reason.

Firefox does not load a pdf-page shown by a specific link, but goes slow and finally crasches instead. IE10 does work. Link is fro state official side, smhi.se

I have windows7, just installed and no bugs. As said above, when I try Internet Explorer 10, recently installed, I have no problem looking on this pdf - page.
The page is found by logging in to smhi.se, the swedish wheater service. I have no problem with the majority of information shown there, just one specific page.
It can be found by clicking "Väder", then "Is till havs", then down under click "Istjänsten" and then "Senaste iskarta i färg".
This pdf-document is then loaded very slowly and if I try to navigate on the page it crasches.

First, after clicking the Firefox button in the upper corner, there is not popping up the square on your solution above!
I can not select Applications in that menu-line thus.....because I do not have it!
Instead I get a small square with swedish text. Only thing which resembles me of any action is: Settings (Inställningar), so I chose that and another square shows where strangely enough the same line is about Acrobat is repeated twice. No other settings are repeated twice.....
So I go to the line for Acrobat and change both lines to Acrobat reader
Then I save and go out.
I try again to log into the link I am interested in, but no result, same problem as before.
Has your swedish people done something strange???
Best regards // Hans Hällström

Adobe X Printing page ranges in pdf's with multiple sections

I'm trying to print a page range in a document that is divided into sections that start over with page 1 or page i, and using an absolute page range doesn't work. For example, the document has an initial cover page up to the Contents page numbered i - vi, then the Contents section is numbered i - iv, then the Figures section is numbered 1 - 2, then the Chapter 1 section is numbered 1 - 6, Chapter 2 is 1 - 14, etc.
In Adobe X, the default toolbar with the print, mail icons, then the up and down arrows, is followed by a box with the "page number" in it followed by a page range in (); for ex., the box has '1' in it and the range shows (15 of 94). If I was viewing the title page, the box would have 'i' in it followed by (1 of 94), etc.
When I try to print, the dialog menu shows the "Print Range" of "All", "Current Page", and "Pages". If I select "Pages" and enter the absolute number from the range in () like (15 of 94), and I want to print absolute page 15-35, and I enter that in the "Pages" box as 15-35, what I get is a section further in the document that I don't want at all, and not the desired page range. In fact, since the sections all restart the page numbering, I can't even find the starting page because the print function is totally confused about what page I mean.
In previous Acrobat versions, I had no trouble using the absolute page range since that is obviously required to get the desired range; i.e., Acrobat can't know what section I want, so for ex. putting page 1-10 can mean any section with 10 pages. I don't know how to use a page range for sections, like 2.1 - 2.4 or 2-1 to 2-4 because the Page range box doesn't recognize that. And again, the absolute page ranges don't work either.
The only way to print this document is to select the "All" button. If the doc is 1000 pages long, I don't want to waste all that paper!! Please help!

You can use the thumbnails pane and print pages selected within the pane.
Have you tried other strings like:
1 - 6 , 1 - 13

Run XML Publisher Report via URL (like Oracle Reports)

Hi All,
Is it possible to run xml-publisher report via URL?
In Oracle Reports works this fine:
http://test:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=test_bihome1&report=test1.rdf&userid=test/testv@db&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
We need this for public reports without user login.
Thanks
Thomas

Thomas,
I was waiting to get home before Tim replied... He got the better of me this time :-)
You say you want to let your users run reports using XMLP just by clicking on an URL same way you do with reports and without having to login. If I got the question right and assuming that:
1.Your company is not overly concerned on who runs what reports
2.Who sees what data
3.Your XMLP installation is on your intranet and firewalled from the outside
What you can do is:
On the main page of your XMLP Enterprise installation you should see a folder called "Guest". Any report you create under this folder is run as user "guest" which means you don't have to authenticate yourself as you would normally do.
I have tested this on my home server and this is what I've done:
1.Logged in as admin or any other user you've created with admin privileges created a report under the "Guest" folder.
2.Copied the URL, on my server it is "http://samba.private.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo"
4.Logged off as admin and pasted the URL to a new browser window
5.Hit return and Voila, my report runs without the need to login to XMLP.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on.
Cheers,
Joao
PS: If you want to see the report for yourself here's the URL from the outside: http://medeiros.homelinux.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo
I'll keep the link alive for a couple of days.
