This is possible in chrome where you add #page=(pagenumber) to the end of a URL containing pdf-file. This is very helpful in work-related situations where you want to show some content of a doc. The exact command does not work with Edge. What command are we supposed to use?

Microsoft Edge | Read PDFs | Windows 10

    Hello ! I'm Aymeric, and I'm here to help !

    I've tried the command you're mentioning and it seems to be working in Edge version 110.0.1587.41.

    Have a look at this screenshot : i've asked Edge to go to the 8th page, and it worked flawlessly. Make sure your Edge is up-to-date and try again.

    Feel free to ask if you have any other question !

    Hello :)

    Thank you for the reply! I was not aware that the document needed to be downloaded first if I want to use this method.

    Since this only works when I download the document and uses the URL-path to my own library, it doesn't work when using the browser-address that it originated from. If I wanted to share the document with all the page-specific links, my colleagues would get an error because they don't have access to my library, or am I wrong here?

    Best regards

    Jonas

    edit: (I was playing around a bit and saw that I had forgotten to press the big blue button labeled: OPEN and open in browser. From there I could use this method on the online document) Thank you for the help!
