xpdf: Open a specific page in a PDF file.
$ xpdf ${filename-pdf} :${page_number}
try on your machine

This command uses the xpdf tool to open and view a specific page of a PDF document.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • xpdf is the name of the tool or command-line program used to view PDF files.
  • ${filename-pdf} is a placeholder for the actual name of the PDF file you want to open. You need to replace ${filename-pdf} with the actual file name (including the file extension .pdf) or provide a variable that holds the file name.
  • :${page_number} represents the specific page number you want to view. Again, you need to replace ${page_number} with the actual page number or use a variable that holds the page number.

By running this command with the correct file name and page number, the xpdf tool will open the specified PDF file and display the selected page.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
