Can Sharepoint 2010 / Adobe iFilter search results link to specific pages in PDF files?

Question

I have Adobe iFilter installed in SharePoint Foundation 2010, and PDF files are appearing in the search result hits. If you click on the link, it opens the PDF file but not to the correct page where the text match was found.

Is there a way to make search result links open to specific PDF pages?

In other words, the URL in the search result hit would include a: #page=[page number] extension.

Answer 1

Provided that bookmarks are already defined in the PDF documents you would need to employ the Adobe PDF Parameters syntax described here http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf.

Excerpts from the actual document as examples:

URL Examples

• http://example.org/doc.pdf#nameddest=Chapter6
• http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3
• http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=3&zoom=200,250,100
• http://example.org/doc.pdf#zoom=50
• http://example.org/doc.pdf#page=72&view=fitH,100
• http://example.org/doc.pdf#view=fitb&nameddest=Chapter3

URL Limitations

• Only one digit following a decimal point is retained for float values.
• Individual parameters, together with their values (separated by & or #), can be no greater then 32 characters in length.
• You cannot use the reserved characters =, #, and &. There is no way to escape these special characters.
• If you turn bookmarks off using a URL parameter when a document had previously been saved with bookmarks on, the bookmark scroll-bars are displayed at first, and only disappear once Acrobat obtains enough streamed information to render the full page

As an example on implementing these concepts in a real example see http://www.novolocus.com/2008/05/15/hit-highlighting-inside-adobe-pdfs-using-sharepoint-search/

Answer 2

Not in SharePoint 2010. The indexing was dependent on older iFilter technology. Not on 2013/2016 even though you get "deep linking" for Word and PowerPoint with the Format Handlers, PDF is not included.
