New issue 64309 by howard.loo: Implement "PDF Open Parameters" in PDF
Renderer
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=64309

Chrome Version : 9.0.587.0 (Official Build 66374) dev
URLs (if applicable) :
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf#view=FitH

Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 5: OK (with Acrobat Reader plugin)
Firefox 3.x: OK (with Acrobat Reader plugin)
IE 7/8: OK (with Acrobat Reader plugin)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using an instance of Chrome that is configured to open PDFs with the
Chrome PDF Renderer instead of Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf#view=FitH
2. In any browser using Acrobat Reader to open PDFs (including Chrome),
because "#view=FitH" is appended to the URL, the PDF will initially be
opened to fit horizontally.

What is the expected result?

The PDF open parameter appended to the URL should affect the way that the
PDF opens.

The specification

What happens instead?

The PDF open parameter is ignored.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

This is a more of a feature request than a bug. Acrobat Reader
implements "PDF Open Parameters" as described in this specification:

http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf

For our web applications, the most important parameters are view, toolbar,
and zoom.

It would be awesome if the Chrome PDF Renderer implemented the
specification, including when the PDF is embedded in the page (see
http://blogs.adobe.com/pdfdevjunkie/2007/08/using_the_html_embed_tag_to_di.html).

Comment #12 on issue 64309 by peterber...@gmail.com: Implement "PDF Open

It would appear that the page and zoom parameters are now supported, so why
not others? I would vote for the search feature to be implemented the same
as Adobe's functionality, as it would be very useful. Especially combining
a search and page parameter.

+1, It would be nice if at least "search=" parameter is added. Right now
this breaks compatibility with a lot of inhouse apps, making matters even
worse when integrating PDF documents into web applications.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=64309

The page parameter is also not apply with the standard.
i.e. #page=2 will navigate to 3rd page in chrome. but it should navigate to
page 2.
Chrome version: 24.0.1312.57 m.

Comment #27 on issue 64309 by diop...@gmail.com: Implement "PDF Open
I need html code to force a link to a pdf to open in adobe. If I am coding
the link, and someone else is opening it, I do not have contact to tell
them to disable it. So is there any html code that can be added to an
email or link, that will either force the pdf to only open in adobe, OR
force google chrome pdf reader to jump to the correct page. Right now it
will open in google chrome pdf viewer, but it jumps to whatever page is
coded +1

ex. www.somthing.com/linktopdf.pdf#page=2
would open on page 3

As an alternative to implementing this feature in full, whenever there are
hash parameters, chrome could offer to open the PDF in the adobe's PDF
viewer.

Comment #30 on issue 64309 by the...@chromium.org: Implement "PDF Open
The Chrome PDF viewer currently supports page= and nameddest=. The page=
off-by-one error is bug 234128, which is also fixed.

It sounds like the original request is for view=. I'll put it in my queue.

Comment #32 on issue 64309 by howard....@gmail.com: Implement "PDF Open
I filed the original request. Supporting "view=" would be awesome for our
enterprise applications, and would allow us to migrate our customers from
the Acrobat plugin to the Chrome PDF Renderer. "view=Fit", "view=FitH",
and "view=FitV" are the three most important ones for our
applications. "zoom=" is also important to us, but "view=" is more
important to us. Thank you so much putting "view=" into your queue.

Comment #36 on issue 64309 by michael....@gmail.com: Implement "PDF Open
While describing the PDF open parameters, the RFC 3778 states that the PDF
open parameters are "currently defined in Adobe Technical Note 5428 [7]."
The RFC links to the document, but that document is dead. A bit of internet
searching brings it up here:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParams.pdf

However, I think the link I provided in the comment directly above is more
current.

For me, the page= off-by-one error is (bug 234128?) is still a problem.

I also am still waiting for the VIEW option (i.e., #view=fitH, etc).

I need to fit PDF documents I am opening to the width of an IFRAME.

As I said, it's in the queue. Adding "me too" comments only slows me down
to tell you to stop adding "me too" comments. :-P

Since view= sounds more popular, I'll try to do that, and then zoom= and
search=. Please just star the bug if you feel it's important to you.

Seriously folks, if you're going to default something in your browser then
either A) give us a way to do what we need (FitH!) during development, or
B) give us a way to disable yours from within HTML so we can use the Adobe
reader. Disabling on our personal browser is ineffective for when we deploy
a site with PDFs on it.

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=64309

for those still wanting the #view=FitH functionality so far the best
solution is to use the iframe tag instead of embed, and link the pdf
directly into the src parameter.
