    Hi, revisiting this topic (as there seems to be no progress.)

    Would it be possible to use the "New Box View" to accomplish this task?

    For instance, upload a large, composite PDF and generate URLs to individual chapters within the PDF.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

     

    I would like to add slightly to this request - I have large pdf's which are created with the initial view set to show the Bookmarks panel as well as the page. All the pdf viewer apps I've tried do successfully open up with the correct initial view, except the Box viewer.

     

    Is it possible that the Box pdf viewer could be modified so it shows the document with the same initial view options as are saved in the file?

     

    Thanks,

    Jim

    Would like to add that we would also welcome such an option - modern PDFs can get quite large - scrolling through several hundred pages to find a correct item, when bookmarks exist, is inefficient, and it would be a clear time saver to have this feature added.

    I need the ability to see and navigate bookmarks in a PDF when in preview mode in Box.  Please let me know if this functionality already exists.

    Thank you,

    Jennifer

    I am having a similar problem.  I would be happy if you could simply do a text search.  That is disabled in Previewer mode.  We have a need to not allow download but the viewer still needs to be able to search PDFs.

    We need this ability also, is there an update around a way to open a specific page within a pdf hosted on Box?

    Hi, checking in on this feature request that was "filed" over 5 years ago, and subsequently requested at least once every year since then. Still majorly needed. Please address and add soon. Thank you kindly!
