get/set pdf page number

Postby RaelB » Mon Jul 22, 2019 6:06 pm

Hello,

As far as I can tell this does not yet exist. It would be useful to be able to get/set current pdf page number.

Thanks

No. After a pdf file is loaded into the browser (from url), have the possibility to move to a certain page. The exact page number would be saved from a previous session.

In my application, the user can browse through a collection of pdf files. I would like to be able to move to the location they were last at for each pdf file.

You can specify the page as part of the URL, for example https://pdfobject.com/static/.

That is useful. But how to read what page the user is on?

That does not appear to be supported by the Chrome PDF viewer. One potential hack is mentioned here.
