Feature request: open to specified page [#page= url fragment id support] #107

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try opening a link with a #page=n fragment identifier, eg: 
http://source.android.com/compatibility/4.0/android-4.0-cdd.pdf#page=4
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
PDF should open at the specified page. Instead, PDF opens at the first page.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
APV PDF Viewer Pro 0.3.2, Android 4.0.3 (ICS), Galaxy Nexus & HP TouchPad

Please provide any additional information below.
On the desktop, the standard way to request that a PDF viewer open a document 
to a specific page is to add the #page=n fragment identifier to the url (there 
are command line options to do the same). I would like to see similar support 
in APV.

Specific use case:
Using an Android tablet to monitor changes to a PDF document.
[complex setup warning]
Recent TeX distributions & editors include a utility called synctex which is 
able to request that your document viewer jump to the specific page that was 
most recently edited. Using this, I have a script which pushes the document to 
a webserver, generates the URL with #page id, and sends this URL to my tablet 
via Chrome to Phone/LinkPush. The final part required is to have a PDF viewer 
on my tablet which is able to intercept these links (via Intents?) and open to 
the page specified.
