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 🙏

Two things are different.

Amit's embed mode is INLINE so it shows all the pages back to back
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.

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
