Unable to open zotero:// link to PDF with page number in Microsoft Edge Chromium
Hello good folk,
I have dyslexia and do therefore like to listen annotate my PDFs with the help of the Microsoft Edge Chromium PDF viewer. When i set Edge as Zotero's default PDF viewer I can successfully open PDFs from the Library, but not though a zotero:// link where the page number is included. Example:
zotero://open-pdf/library/items/FGH55MQR?page=25)
This is important because it is a link to an annotation, I extracted with Zotfile though mdnotes to markdown.
when I click the link to tabs are opened in the browser:
http://page=25/
and
file:///C:/Users/Audun/Zotero/storage/FGH55MQR/Ahrens%20-%20How%20to%20Take%20Smart%20Notes%20-%20One%20Simple%20Technique%20to%20.pdf
which displays opens the PDF at page number one
if this could be fixed somehow, I'd be very thankful
best regards,
Audun

I would recommend the VBS script. With the CMD script, there's a flashing CMD window when opening files. Open the link, click the "Raw" button in the top-right corner, then download the file with Ctrl+S. When selecting the custom viewer ("Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "General" -> "Open PDFs using" -> "Custom..."), you need to navigate to the folder containing the script and enter the full filename by hand. (The file picker filters for .exe and .com files.)
acro2edge.vbs. This might work if your issue is related to an IME.BTW, if you're working with PDF annotations, you might want to try Zotero's beta version:
