      Problem Definition

      Suggested Solution

      • Permit a way for a user to select a specific page in PDF and link to it, such as with the Insert Link option in the editor.
      • Here, you can select an attachment for linking. Something could be added when you select a PDF document where you can also specify a page from here.

      Why this is important

      It's a built-in feature that Adobe has so we can take advantange of this and program it into Confluence for better ease of use.

            Description Original: {panel:bgColor=#e7f4fa}
              *NOTE:* This suggestion is for *Confluence Server*. Using *Confluence Cloud*? [See the corresponding suggestion|http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-7941].
              {panel}

            Here I want to open an uploaded File on a specified page, (called Medialibrary). On that page, (Medialibrary) are all uploaded Files for confluence. Now I want to point to one of those files and directly to page 4.
            -- In the first Solution it works, but only if I copy the Link when I open the uploaded file.
            -- In the second Solution it does not work. I want to do this with that syntax described in the solution 2 (Medialibrary^). This is much easier, then I dont have to open first the uploaded file, mark the Link, and paste it as it is in the solution 2.

            Solution 1:
            [PDF-File on Page 4 | http://bkwebt:8081/download/attachments/655448/EVA+Best+Practise.pdf#page=4]

            Solution 2:
            PDF-File on Page 4 | Medialibrary^EVA Best Practise.pdf#page=4]


            ==> I already had contact with one of our colleges from the support. His name is Jonathan Nolen [mailto:jonathan@atlassian.com]. He told me, that I should open an enhancement request for it. Thanks for get me an answer as soon as possible.
            Cheers Christian
