URL Commands
When you link to PDF documents using the HTML tag <HREF> you can add several commands for the PDF Browser Plugin to the end of the URL. The commands are added to the URL after a # sign. Multiple commands can be combined with a & sign. Here is a code example for a PDF document linked from HTML with an added URL command:
<a href="http://www.schubert-it.com/document.pdf#page=5">
PDF Browser Plugin understands the following commands:
