I use a lot of pdfs on an everyday basis and what I wanted to do was
something along the lines of :
*When a button is pressed, it should open the pdf with a specific page
number in another tiddler. *
This allows for referencing specific pages on the pdf which I find very
useful at times. Are there any plugins that would do this?
----------------------------
I was able to get this functionality as follows:
* Run a simple http server on my pdfs folder
* I add a field called pdftitle to the tiddler with the path to the pdf
(e.g., pdftitle="sample.pdf")
* The following script creates a button which upon clicking will open
another tiddler with the sample.pdf embedded into it and also navigate to
page-5.
\define concatenate(par1) {{!!pdftitle}}$par1$
<div>
<$wikify name="newtitle" text=<<concatenate "#page=5">> >
<$button style="color:blue;">
<$action-sendmessage $message="tm-new-tiddler" pagetitle=<<newtitle>>
title="viewPage" text="""<object data={{!!pagetitle}}
type="application/pdf" style="width: 100%; height: 820px" ></object>"""
/>
Page-5
</$button>
</$wikify>
The issue with this method though is that I am unable to turn this script
into a 'macro' that I can call (e.g., <<ref-pdf page-5>> ). Would
appreciate any thoughts on how to about this.
Thanks!
