Hi there !

Is it possible to open a pdf file from command line at a specific page ? I succeeded to open a document using command line, but it always starts with page 1. It is not exactly what I want. I think this option is very important to be forgotten, so that I am asking how I can do it.
The command line parameters seems to be:
FoxitReader [-Register] [-NoRegister] [PDF filename] [-n <Page Number>]
[-ImportFDF <FDF filename>]
where -n <Page Number> specify most recently read page number. Seriously, I don't understand what means this option, but anyway it seems it is not the page number I want to open the document. If it is true, and it just gives the "most recently read page number" I really don't see the usage of this parameter. The question becomes then if in the future it will be possible to open the documents using bookmarks or specific pages from command line and eventually using URL's. In my opinion these features are very important and it will make your software more appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Dear Vizitator,
[-n <Page Number>] is used to specific the page you want to open ,like "-n 9" will open the file at page 9.
If you want to remember the last reader page number, I am afraid that this command line option can't do this. But we have a product named foxit library can do so, which is not released yet.
