Hello, I have devised a simple way to open a PDF file right at the page of a match found by htsearch. I have described this solution on my web page (http://po.gaillard.free.fr). Basically, it's a simple Python external parser for PDF and a two-line Netscape helper, used to benefit from the "add_anchor_to_excerpt: true" option of htsearch. The external parser: - uses pdftotext from Xpdf. - adds anchor "PAGE_XXX" at beginning of each page. The helper : - takes the URL of the PDF file to open - extract anchor information from the URL to get the page number (e.g. http://htdig.org/htdig.pdf#PAGE_122 => 122) - run xpdf on the right document and tell it to open it at the right page. The process can be used for Word documents and others too (with catdoc, for instance). I thought some people could use this simple trick. Of course comments are welcome. P.O.
