You Asked

Dear Tom

how to open a specific page or range of pages of a PDF file in oracle APEX 5. Let us say that I want to display only pages 15-20 of a PDF file stored in a database table. I am able to open the PDF file in Apex 5, but I need to open a specific pages only from a file.

Thank you

Only thing I can find from the Adobe site is *starting* at a certain page, eg

"www.example.com/myfile.pdf#page=4"

Otherwise you'd need to navigate through the internal structure to find the pages you are after.

There is info on that here

But that sounds like a complex problem to tackle, and at risk from changes in pdf structure over time.

Dear Tom

thank you for your response, you have mentioned adobe solution and may question how can I incorporate such a command in Apex 5 so I can open that page directly.
