Jump to PDF page

nikolo
I found out, that it is only possible to jump to an specific page of an pdf document, if a http server runs:

For example:
http://127.0.0.1:5678/serverfolder/file.pdf#page=12&pagemode=none

runs good, but needs an additional server.


Are there other solutions, perhaps like this:

zotero://attachment/37/ <-- ok, but starts only on page 1
zotero://attachment/37/#page=12&pagemode=none <-- no functionality: file not found

    Zotfile implements zotero://open-pdf/0_WKA7ZF75/3 (for page 3 of the PDF)

    Wow, very fast. Thank you a lot.

    But I do not get a result from your example request in the browser.

    1. I installed the "zotfile" firefox addon
    2. I typed in the address field of the browser:
    zotero://open-pdf/W8EUCMGP/3
    W8EUCMGP = are the characters of the folder where "my" specific pdf file is stored in the main zotera folder.

    No answer of the request appears in the browser.

    You'd either need to do this in Firefox with ZotFile installed in Firefox or launch the links from within Zotero Standalone (e.g. via a link in the note filed)

    I have this same problem with you.

    on macOS, the solution is to change the `Open PDFs using` setting to Preview Application.

    I was using PDF Expert back then, I guess the reason to cause this problem is that some applications can not communicate with Zotero.
