Description
As a user I want to be able to create links to specific pages in a PDF file.
Problem Definition
Users are unable to add a link to PDF preview that shows the document directly in the referenced page. When attaching a preview, no matter how, users are always redirected to the first page of the document.
Suggested Resolution
Allow users to create links to specific pages of a PDF document, almost like a summary in a document. Clicking this link, the user will open preview mode directly in the referenced page.
Why This Is Important
When dealing with big documents sharing what is within them becomes a hassle because users will always start reading the document from the start.
Workaround
To implement something similar in a Confluence page, you could do the following:
1 - Access the desired page with the PDF attached to it
2 - Go to the Attachment Section (Little clip ot the right side of the padlock at the top of the page)
3 - Click view in the desired attachment
4 - Navigate to the desired page, the one you want to link
5 - Right click and select Copy image address
6 - Go back to the page and edit it
7 - Paste the link you just copied
8 - Save the page
**Optional - Edit the pasted link name to match a desired specification
Now, the link you pasted to the page will lead to the specified page. But, the limitations I spoke about earlier are
- You can not navigate the entire document directly from that preview
- When clicked, the page will open straight to the current tab, users must ctrl+click or right click and select open in another tab
