Open Pdf Within Qt application and go to specific page.

Sebastian

I have spent couple of days to search my answer but not lucky to get the answer.so i need help to all my friends.

Within my Qt application I'm able to open a PDF using the OS default viewer thru the following code:

  QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile(filePath));

This works fine.but now i want the functionality like if i want to directly go to specific page eg page number 20 so we can directly go to that page.
So basicly i want a function in my class where we can specify the page number of pdf file and directly jump to that page number.

thanks for help in advance

Hi
I dont think u can as you just tell system,
"please open what ever application that like this file."

It also depends on viewer how to go to a page.,

For Acrobat reader, it takes
Acrobat /A "page=<pagenum>" %1.pdf

/A command line to open at a page but for other viewers it will be different.
