Re: [Zim-wiki] Opening attached PDFs on certain pages
John, Not sure if you are using Linux, but I played around on my Mint netbook and found somewhat of a workaround for you. I placed a single line .sh file in my attachment folder that contains the shell command to open the pdf to a specific page, then created a link to it in the wiki. Name the .sh something useful like "document_page30.sh" and put into the file something like: /usr/bin/evince /full/path/to/document -p 30 Probably will have to set the permissions to make the file executable I have the Attachment Browser plugin enabled. In the browser, right click the .sh and customize the "Open With" to /bin/sh (Before, my default "open with" would just open the .sh in the editor and not execute the command - see the Zim help pages for Default Applications if you want some background). Then in your wiki you can create your file link to your .sh file with something more descriptive as the text using link markup or Insert -> Links (Ctrl-L) - or drag/drop from the attachment folder and edit the link text. You are set - close the Attachment Browser if you want to, then in your wiki, click on your descriptive link and your pdf will open to the correct page. This may seek like a lot of hassle - but honestly once you have the "open with" set, and one executable .sh file, it's really easy to duplicate the .sh to another directory (or replicate it in the current directory if you want) and do the quick path/page_number edits - then drag into your wiki text. I was hoping that I could just use a "./file" reference in the command since the .sh is usually in the same attachment directory as the .pdf, but it's not too big a deal to enter the full path. Not elegant, but it works (until something better comes along). - Kurt On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 10:42 PM, John Geoffrey wrote: > Hello, > > I was just wondering again about something that I thought might be useful: > sometimes when I attach PDFs to zim pages it is specific pages/articles in > this pdf I really need.
