Hi, I am the author of org-docview.el, which adds support for links to the doc-view-mode of Emacs 23 and is merged in the current master branch of org-mode. It allows you to link to any document format which doc-view-mode supports, which includes PDF files. The syntax is: docview:<file name>::<page number> Example: [[docview:/home/jan/some-file.pdf::7][Page 7]] Of course, these links open the file by visiting it in emacs. I would propose to modify org-docview.el to look in org-file-apps for an entry for \.pdf\' - If you want to use doc-view-mode to view the PDFs, specify "Visit in Emacs" - If you want to use an external viewer, specify that In the case of an external viewer, org-docview.el would have to know how to pass the page number on to that viewer, maybe replace %p by the page number, then pass that on to org-open-file-from-string. This reminds me again of the fact that docview: links are basically the same as file: links, but instead of specifying a line number, they specify a page number. org-docview.el already uses the file: link functions to do most of the heavy lifting (e.g. to respect org-link-file-path-type). I wonder if this separate syntax for "link to a specific line" and "link to a specific page" is a bad thing, but I also do not want to mess with the core too much. PS: I am very interested in integrating Xournal with Org. I use Xournal for doing all my homework for university; when I have saved the file, I manually add a file: link to my org file. It would be great to store that link directly from Xournal! - Jan _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
