[Dspace-tech] Linking to a bookmarked page in a PDF stored in DSpace
Hi... I was asked if it would be possible for someone to link directly into a bookmarked page in a PDF that is stored in DSpace. Before I say no, I just wanted to check to see if anyone has any ideas about this. To be clear, what the user wants is for me to give him/her a URL that will take him/her directly into a specific bookmarked page in the PDF that is stored in DSpace. BTW: I am using DSpace 1.8.2 and JSPUI interface (working on bringing XMLUI interface up) George Kozak Digital Library Specialist Cornell University Library Information Technologies (CUL-IT) 218 Olin Library Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 607-255-8924 -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

George - You could store a small HTML file that had the link in it. It could look something like this: HTML HEAD meta http-equiv=REFRESH content=0;url= http://yourdspace.com/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/1234/yourfile.pdf#page=4 /HEAD /HTML When a person clicked on the link to this file, it would take you to page 4 of the pdf. Just an idea.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Linking to a bookmarked page in a PDF stored in DSpace
Mark, why the extra indirection? The link is all that's needed. http://yourdspace.com/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/1234/yourfile.pdf#page=4 It's supported by the Acrobat browser plugin and natively in Chrome. It may not work with other plugins, but it won't break anything. Here's the official documentation of that feature: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/link-html-pdf-page-acrobat.html Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette -- LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.

Thanks, Everyone. We'll do some more playing around with this. So far, when we try this, we only get the first page of the PDF, but we are using IE and Firefox (our Desktop Services Dept. does not trust us with Chrome :-) ) George Kozak Digital Library Specialist Cornell University Library Information Technologies (CUL-IT) 218 Olin Library Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 607-255-8924 -Original Message- From: helix84 [mailto:heli...@centrum.sk] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 12:49 PM To: Mark Ehle Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Linking to a bookmarked page in a PDF stored in DSpace Mark, why the extra indirection?

It's just that Chrome has a PDF-viewer built-in, that's why I mentioned it separately. And of course, you can't control what your visitors have installed, that's why I mentioned it won't hurt those who won't benefit from it. So which browser plugin are you using?

Re: [Dspace-tech] Linking to a bookmarked page in a PDF stored in DSpace
I was just thinking that you would store the HTML file in dspace and in clicking on it, you would be redirected to the pdf file. How can you just store a link?

Ivan: We are using Acrobat's plug-in, so I guess from what you said, this should work for us. I guess I need to do a little more playing around to see why it doesn't seem to work for us. I may test this from home where I have more control over my PC.

How can you just store a link? You can store a link in metadata. Or you can create it dynamically, depending on where you get the information about the page that's wanted.

I didn't look closely, but I think the page mentioned that it works only in Acrobat 7+. Could it be that you're forced to use an ancient, insecure plugin?
