[Solved] Scroll to specific PDF page with JavaScript

[Shiloah]

I am a newbie with JavaScript. Is there a way I can use JavaScript to scroll to specific pages of my pdf file containing 100 pages. My goal is to be able to maintain one pdf file rather than splitting it up into individual files that I can link to manually. Thanks

This should help. I don’t understand why you wish to use javascript for something like this. Are you trying to create a ‘scroll’ transition or merely want to go straight to a specific part of the document?

It’s been a while but don’t PDFs support bookmarks etc?

The problem that I am running into with this solution is that it still the other parts of the PDFf file are still showing. For example, if myfile.pdf has 10 pages and I create a link to only page 5 as … <a href="myfile.pdf#page=5">Tips</a>, the rest of the pages that follow are also display.

That seems like the normal behaviour….after all it’s a multi-page file and you are just linking to a specific point in it.

Unfortunately, I have never heard of a solution that allows you to only display part of a PDF file and hide the rest. You might be able to find some software that can split up your document.
But really, your only options are to separate it into individual files or use the solution I gave you and deal with the extra pages :)

Thanks for all the help. I will stick to the suggested solution for now.
