[QUESTION] Linking to specific page or section in embedded pdf? Adobe View SDK

[vlads62604899]

Say for instance. I have a button on a webpage I would like to link to a specific page in an interactive catalogue pdf document, that I plan to be embedded in a subpage with the Adobe View SDK. 

Is that possible, And how would I go about it? 

I don't want to involve my developer before I know it can be done, else I have to settle with current possibilities with either web folder link or google drive embed functionality and then split the pages to fit under pages.

Our current approach is to just upload a document to webserver folder, and then add to the URL link 
".pdf#page=13" But unfortunately this approach only download the document on mobiles and eventually just start from the beginning. But I want it to be mobile friendly. 

Hope it makes sense?

I have a working example at this CodePen.

That is awesome Joel! Much appriciated! 

What makes it different with yours compared to this codepen example (from this article). Because in Amits example I cant just add "?page=4" to the URL adress, like I can with yours. 

I'm just trying to understand 🙏

[Joel Geraci]

Two things are different.

1. Amit's embed mode is INLINE so it shows all the pages back to back
2. I added code to look at the querystring and go to the page number requested. That functionality isn't a feature of the tool, I added it via code.

[vlads62604899]

That is great! 

What if like the back to back style, is that still doable with the URL pages? 

I like the way it is "integrated" in the page 

[Joel Geraci]

Back to back style? Can you elaborate?

[vlads62604899]

"

   "
   
   
   But I mean like in-line embed mode of those.

So when I press a button for a desired product group, lets say from slider on front page 

it jumps to (example) our digitial pdf catalogue page, to page 13 (out of 36) with the section/page of that desired product group 

[Joel Geraci]

Oh.. Ok - So you want to know if inline mode support goToLocation()? Correct?

I've never tried it so please clarify and I'll see if I can get a sample working. 

[vlads62604899]

goToLocation would certainly be impresive, like target a "headline" on a page, if you can add like several attributes to a URL, like "?page=4" and "add some additional targeting code here/look for word "Hydraulics". But for starters just the in-line mode page targeting through URL yes.
