Re: [PD] open a pdf file from within PD to a specific location

[Liam Goodacre]

Hi Lucas

I've just taken a look at your solution. It's brilliant! This is exactly what I 
needed. Not ugly in my eyes, since it should also help to align sections with 
their page numbers in a structured way.

Alex is working on his new [link] / [openfile] object, so if you have any 
suggestions regarding anchors, maybe you could work with him?

Thank you,

Liam

It will be nicer if someone updates [pddplink] to allow "anchor" names in local 
urls but you can get what you want with something like this:

context/main.html

context/dummylinks/section1.html
context/dummylinks/section2.html
...
...


---section1.htmlcode:

Your [pddplink dummylinks/section1.html] redirects to main.html at your anchor.


Is rather ugly but will do what you need.

It will also work for pdf -->

Adobe<https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters_v9.pdf>,
 you should be able to use "/path/to/file.pd#page=20". This works if I'm 
opening a web URL, but I can't get it to work opening a local file from the 
hard drive.

I said in the subject-line that it was a pdf file, but if I could get it to 
work with an odt or a local html document I would be just as happy. I've tried 
many things but I can't seem to get it to work.

Any suggestions?

oh, and perhaps [openfile] is a more suitable name...

agreed

What the object is doing is more opening any kind of file, what pddplink
actually does as well, but I'm expanding the features to make it able to
receive a file name and open it. This will open the file according to the
software specified by the operating system, so opening a wave file calls
the default software that handles wav files. The deal with urls and
weblinks is that these are opened by your default browser, so it's not that
it's a specific thing for weblinks at all.

So if you give it a "odt" file to open, it'll call the default software
that handles it...

I don't know much about this, but if you want to open a documentation file
at a specific location, I guess your best strategy is to offer a divided
html documentation folder. And everyone has a default browser for opening
these...

cheers

while i cannot help you with your specific question, i'd like to point
out that the "link" object is already taken by pmpd, and should probably
be avoided (it is a rather generic term as well, so i don't think it is
a good name for any special purpose object).

[PD] open a pdf file from within PD to a specific location

[Liam Goodacre]

Hi all

You can use [pddplink] from the pddp library to open a file from the hard disk 
(or the as-yet unreleased [link] from ELSE). What I would like to do is open a 
pdf file to a specific location. According to 
Adobe,
 you should be able to use "/path/to/file.pd#page=20". This works if I'm 
opening a web URL, but I can't get it to work opening a local file from the 
hard drive.

I said in the subject-line that it was a pdf file, but if I could get it to 
work with an odt or a local html document I would be just as happy. I've tried 
many things but I can't seem to get it to work.
