Hans van der Meer mailto:havdmeer@ziggo.nl 18. April 2018 um 21:12 I have the following question about referencing.

With \goto{typeset_the_text}[url(file://a_file_location_to_goto file:///a_file_location_to_goto.pdf)] I can open a pdf from inside the document that has been typeset. It would, however, be nice if I could further specify on which page of the pdf to open. Is this possible? Or is this a wish not to be fulfilled?

My example works for me with Preview and Adobe Reader, in both cases Safari opens the PDF on page 58. Wolfgang

Hans van der Meer mailto:havdmeer@ziggo.nl 18. April 2018 um 23:04 Thanks. But this seems not to work on my Macintosh. Not in Preview, not in Adobe Reader. Typesetting resulted in valid-url.pdf#page=55 but the document opens at the last page remebered by the application. Are there other Macintosh users who can confirm this is not working on those machines or should I do something else?

The goto to the internet as given by Wolfgang works here too, but other configurations do not. Please ascertain my observations from the test given below. You should replace the absolute path by your own, of course. Three cases are programmed: (1) Wolfgang’s (2) full path ftp:// access opens file but at last page opened (3) local path does not open and brings up an Alert Run from TeXShop and also directly in Preview and Adobe Reader with the same results.

Hi, I tested your example (after giving some local paths…) and the behaviour as follows: (1) The full URL path with http:// opens the file at the desired page (2) The full ftp:// local path opens my file at page 1 (3) The local path file:// to afile sitting in the same directory does not work at all. I just saw that John Grasty gave an explanation from the specifications of Adobe: maybe that is the reason. Best regards: OK

Hi Hans (van der Meer), Not sure if the next would be useful to you, but I want to mention anyway that you can open a local external pdf file to a specific destination, using a syntax like this: \goto{localfile.pdf::externalreference} Where “externalreference” is a defined destination in the external pdf. Since my own generated pdfs tend to have special “page-xxxx” destinations, I can usually access my own external files with: \goto{myfile.pdf::page-5} I believe this was intended to be used with \usereferences in mkii, but it works just fine without the \usereferences call in mkiv. Mkiv does not do any checking on the target validity, though. This generates a /GoToR link instead of /URI, and that also means that AR does not open the document in your browser (which is wildly annoying) :) Looking at the lua code in lpdf-ano, it hints that it should be possible to feed an actual page number in, but if that is true, then I have no idea what the syntax should be … or it could be a case of NIY? A quick and dirty way to create external page destinations is: \setupinteraction[state=start] \setuplayout[top=1sp,topdistance=1sp] \setuptoptexts[{\contentreference[page-\the\pageno]{}}] Hope this helps, Taco
