Make a Windows 7 shortcut to a specific pdf page
Is there a way to make a Windows 7 shortcut to a specific pdf page?
If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed, you can create a shortcut to a command line that opens a PDF file to a specific page:
AcroRd32.exe /A "page=7=OpenActions" myfile.pdf
Will open "myfile.pdf" to page 7.
You can find more command line switches here.
In 2021, on Windows 10, it is possible using following commands
Using Acrobat Reader
%acrobat% /A "page=44=OpenActions" "..\Magazines\2021-05.TA-663.Mai.pdf"
Using Foxit Reader
%foxit% "..\Magazines\2021-05.TA-663.Mai.pdf" /A page=45
Using Chrome
start chrome "file:///D:\Documents\Magazines\2021-05.TA-663.Mai.pdf#page=44"
Using Opera
start opera "file:///D:\Documents\Magazines\2021-05.TA-663.Mai.pdf#page=44"
Using Edge
start msedge "file:///D:\Documents\Magazines\2021-05.TA-663.Mai.pdf#page=44"
Using Firefox
start firefox "file:///D:\Documents\Magazines\2021-05.TA-663.Mai.pdf#page=44"
On my PC, %acrobat%
and %foxit%
variables are equal to
set acrobat="C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Reader\acroRd32.exe"
set foxit="C:\Program Files (x86)\Foxit Software\Foxit Reader\FoxitReader.exe"
All these solutions are working correctly on my PC.
