Hi!
I'm using a C program to open PDF files with this code:


Now I need to go furthrer; I need to open the PDF file at a certain page. I've tried


...as is suggested in Adobe's docs, but this does not work.

Any hints?

EDIT:

On second thoughts, you are right.

Just a little change

Just add a space, cause page=4 is an argument.

----------------
I don't know if there are any real ways to do it. But how about triggering some keyboard inputs with keybd_event()
All you have to do is Ctrl+Shift+N to open the "go to page" dialog box. and then the input the number 4(say) and also "Enter" with the same function. Before all this you have to give time for the pdf to get opened and become active(You may have to use the function Sleep())

You can get the complete set of Virtual key codes in msdn

Hope it helps

The official way is with Win32 COM
(never use keybd_event, not professonal at all...)

I'll take a note of that.

And the actual answer is not either. Its just to give an argument to the pdf we are opening

Well, so far I've not succeeded in making it work.
It is very easy to get the righ result when you open PDF files in a web browser: all you have to do is follow the PDF file name with the #page=n parameter (and without space).

However it does not work when calling the PDF from C/C++. I know it is possible, I've seen it work somewhere...

I'll post the solution here when I find it...

Sorry to have suggested an untested code.
My little Google search found me this

Have a look at it.

This time I have tested the code and it really works.

D:\Program files\Adobe Reader 9.exe is the path to the portable reader in my computer(I always try to get portable versions).

Ubuntu.pdf was in the same folder as my CPP program, hence I did not specify its path.

Details about parameter options could be found int the link above.

Good Luck

THANK YOU!!!
Thank you VERY MUCH!
You saved my day!!!
Thanks!
All the Best!

Well.... I was too quick to celebrate...

It works fine in Win XP, but not on Vista.... oh well...

I wonder why!!

Hey Prabakar,

You mentioned you use a portable reader. Maybe this is a solution, where do I get it?

I've googled it and found so many different options... is there one from Adobe?

Thanks!

I do not have vista, to help you I don't know why it is not working in vista, these functions are ment to work on windows after all. Perhaps you'll have to wait for others to respond
